Darla Roundtree, LCSW

Darla Roundtree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 10 years of experience guiding people through difficult life transitions and emotional challenges. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, helping individuals build inner awareness and practical skills while honoring each person’s strengths and aspirations. Known for a calm, attuned presence, she listens closely and provides nonjudgmental feedback designed to clarify goals and support meaningful change.

Darla views people as more than their circumstances and works to identify the resources and gifts clients already possess. Her practice focuses on practical, evidence-informed care for stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting issues, and a broad range of life changes. She also brings experience supporting LGBT clients, those coping with compassion fatigue or ADHD, and people facing challenges related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, and caregiving stress.

In sessions she draws on attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and emotionally-focused approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Darla welcomes conversations about any matter a person wishes to process and supports clients in articulating a vision for growth and taking practical steps toward it.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional safety. In online sessions this approach helps clients explore attachment-related difficulties such as abandonment, attachment wounds, and relationship dynamics, and work toward more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist’s empathic presence and the client’s own capacity for growth. It involves reflective listening and collaborative goal-setting, and is useful for people seeking validation, clarity, and a pace that fits their needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be effective for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Darla helps clients explore which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts the plan collaboratively as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules, those living far from in-person services, and people who prefer different ways of communicating. Licensed professionals can offer consistent therapeutic support through these formats, making it easier to access care when and how it is most helpful.
