About Christina
Christina LaBond is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She brings eight years of outpatient therapy experience to sessions and focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and build skills for everyday life. Christina uses a mix of approaches that center on clients' strengths and histories.
She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and commit to small, manageable steps.
How Christina works
A trauma-informed lens shapes much of her work. That means she pays attention to how past hurt can affect self-worth, relationships, and safety with others. She combines this with dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness.
Her background includes community mental health, outpatient clinics, primary care settings, and work connected to guardianship matters in the court system. She has led psychoeducational groups on trauma, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. In sessions, Christina aims to help people develop skills to manage symptoms more effectively while also highlighting strengths that support life goals.
She approaches change as a shared process and offers steady support while people try new strategies and face difficult decisions.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear, teachable techniques that often suit anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood instability. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current connections and sense of safety, which can help with intimacy struggles, trust issues, and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may draw on more than one approach and are adjusted as progress and circumstances change.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation flexible. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quicker check-in. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, more frequent touchpoints and can fit into busy days without a full session commitment.
