About Darla
Darla Roundtree, LCSW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma after difficult life events. She supports people facing parenting challenges, career strain, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and adoption and foster care matters. Her work also addresses anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and the strain that comes with caregiving.
Darla approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She listens closely and responds without judgment. Sessions focus on helping people name their priorities, notice strengths, and take small steps toward change. She emphasizes presence and practical feedback rather than lecture-style instruction.
With ten years as a social worker, Darla blends several therapeutic styles to fit each person. She draws on client-centered techniques to keep the conversation grounded in what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors between sessions.
When emotional regulation or intense relationship patterns come up, she brings in skills from dialectical behavior therapy and attachment-based work to help people manage feelings and repair connections. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when people want to understand how patterns developed and how to shift them.
Darla welcomes conversations about adoption and foster care and how those experiences affect identity and relationships.

How her approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotions. In sessions this can mean talking through important relationship patterns and practicing new ways of connecting to feel less stuck. Client-centered therapy places the client's perspective at the center of each session. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify values and goals without judgment. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it often includes simple exercises to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and together they decide which combination of approaches fits best. That decision can change over time as new issues come up or progress is made.
