Christina LaBond is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree from the University of Southern California and previously practiced in Michigan before establishing her practice in North Carolina. Christina focuses on empowering people to overcome personal barriers and to identify and build on their strengths so they can pursue a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Her work is trauma-informed and strengths-based, and she draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each individual. Christina has extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and integrates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as appropriate. She has provided care to individuals, couples, families, and groups, and has facilitated psychoeducational groups addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.

Christina has worked across community mental health settings, outpatient clinics, primary care, community outreach, and on guardianship cases within the court system. She helps clients develop practical skills to manage symptoms while shifting focus toward strengths and life goals, and supports those whose histories of trauma affect self-worth, sense of safety in relationships, and expectations for the future. Christina aims to walk alongside clients as they make meaningful, positive changes in their lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Christina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior, and is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress in healthier ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult internal experiences without getting stuck, and take committed actions toward meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Christina can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and continue consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
