About Christina

Christina Laborde is a licensed clinical social worker who brings ten years of experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. Christina aims to create straightforward, respectful spaces where people can talk about what’s hard and build steps toward change.

She uses practical methods tailored to each person’s situation rather than one-size-fits-all plans. Sessions emphasize clear goals, coping skills, and workable routines that fit everyday life.

02

How Christina works

Conversations often include exploring attachment patterns, communication problems, and how past trauma affects current choices. Christina also addresses feelings like guilt, shame, and low self-esteem. She supports people working on forgiveness, growing self-love, and finding clearer life purpose.

Her approach balances listening with concrete tools so progress feels measurable. Clients can expect a direct but compassionate style. She adjusts pace and techniques to match readiness and comfort.

Over a decade of practice has sharpened her ability to shift plans when something isn’t working. Sessions are offered in English and are based in Florida. Christina frames therapy as a collaborative process where people set the priorities and she helps guide the work.

The result is focused care that aims to reduce symptoms and strengthen everyday functioning.

Online support options

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. One common approach focuses on skill building for anxiety and mood problems, teaching breathing, grounding, and gradual exposure to reduce avoidance. Another approach emphasizes working through trauma and its effects on daily life by safely processing past events and building coping strategies tailored to present needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist listens to goals and preferences, then suggests methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback indicate what helps most.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit therapy into busy days. These formats aim to make care more flexible and easier to attend while keeping focus on meaningful progress.
