About Christina
Christina LaBond is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina who uses practical, skills-based therapy to help people manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients learn new ways of coping. Christina has eight years of experience working in outpatient settings and community mental health.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Conversations often include skill practice, real-life problem solving, and attention to how past experiences affect current relationships. The aim is to reduce distressing symptoms while building strengths people can use every day. Christina brings a trauma-aware perspective to her work.
She pays attention to how earlier hurts can shape self-worth, attachment, and feeling safe with others. That lens informs how she talks through relationship problems, grief, and difficulties with trust. Her experience includes group work and clinical work in primary care, community mental health, and court-related settings.
She uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when those are needed. People who want practical tools often find her approach helpful. Christina focuses on small, achievable steps toward clearer goals.
She helps people identify values, make changes that match those values, and cope better with life’s stressors.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete strategies to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and managing anger.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits best. Together they decide which combination of skills and perspectives works for the client’s concerns and daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and practice of skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, send short updates, or get brief coaching during a busy day. These options help fit care into work, family, and other responsibilities while still focusing on progress.
