About Christina

Christina LaBond is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people move through hard moments. She brings eight years of clinical experience and focuses on building coping skills, improving relationships, and addressing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family concerns. Christina practices in North Carolina and offers services in English.

Her work emphasizes clear skills and steady support. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

She also uses dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotional regulation and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people connect action with values. Christina has treated people across different settings, including community mental health, clinic-based care, primary care, community outreach, and court-related guardianship work. She has led psychoeducational groups on trauma, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and co-occurring substance use and mental health issues.

These experiences shaped a straightforward, skills-first style. Trauma-informed care is a consistent thread in her approach. Christina pays attention to how past hurts affect self-worth, relationships, and safety with others.

She helps clients notice those patterns and practice alternatives that rebuild trust and agency. Sessions focus on practical steps a parent or partner can use at home. Christina aims to help people manage symptoms while highlighting strengths that support longer term goals.

The process is collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by emphasizing action over avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more effective patterns. CBT works well for stress, sleeping problems, depression, anxiety, and many day-to-day challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and handling crises. It is helpful when strong emotions or impulsive actions get in the way of goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina treats selection of methods as a team effort, adjusting techniques to fit a person’s goals and comfort. She will talk through options and try strategies together to see what helps most.

Online sessions allow flexible access to care. Video calls offer face-to-face connection, phone sessions provide an easy alternative, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or skill practice between visits. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule and to continue work when in-person visits are difficult.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
