About Christina
Christina LaBond is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a practical focus on helping people manage stress and anxiety. Christina uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people feel more capable in daily life.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That means sessions often include learning new coping skills, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing small behavior changes.
Background and approach
Christina emphasizes a trauma-informed view when past events still affect present relationships and self-worth. Her background includes outpatient therapy, community mental health, primary care settings, and work related to guardianship cases. She has led psychoeducational groups on anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use, and has experience working with people facing grief, addiction, and relationship struggles.
Christina aims to help people build practical skills to manage symptoms while also identifying personal strengths and life goals. Her style is collaborative: she listens, offers clear options, and helps people try things that fit their lives. This approach is often useful for people coping with life changes, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and intimacy concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She works with adults who want a steady, skill-focused approach to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life they care about while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. Christina will discuss different methods and try ways of working that match a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches so clients can practice skills between sessions and notice what helps most.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy days. Video sessions allow real-time teaching and skill practice. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief support, skill reminders, or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while focusing on the approaches that best address anxiety and related concerns.
