About Christina
Christina LaBond is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and phobias. Christina uses straightforward conversation and practical skill-building to help clients move forward.
She blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses elements of acceptance and commitment work to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them.
Background and approach
Christina often pulls in dialectical behavior tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Many people who come to her have past trauma that still affects how they relate to others and themselves. Christina uses a trauma-informed lens to help clients notice the ways old wounds show up now.
Sessions emphasize safety, pacing, and building small skills that make daily life easier. Christina has experience across community mental health, outpatient clinics, primary care settings, and court-related work. She has led psychoeducational groups on trauma, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.
That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style in individual sessions. Her work supports people dealing with grief, sexual and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and identity questions including LGBT concerns. Christina aims to help clients find their own strengths and make steady, achievable changes.
Using proven approaches in online sessions
Christina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into small steps so clients can practice new responses and see measurable progress in anxiety, depression, and phobias.She also integrates acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. This work can be useful for people coping with chronic stress, identity concerns, or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what a client needs, and regularly checks in about how the approach is working.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, and flexible communication during busy days. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules while using the therapist’s experience and methods.
