Christina LaBond , LCSW

Christina LaBond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina who brings years of experience working across outpatient and community settings. She has been active in the mental health field since 2012 and began providing outpatient therapy in 2014. Christina earned a master’s degree from the University of Southern California and is licensed to practice clinical social work in North Carolina. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a professional credential for providing clinical mental health care.

Her clinical work is trauma-informed and strengths-based, and she uses an eclectic approach tailored to each person. Christina has supported individuals, couples, families, and groups and has led weekly psychoeducational groups on topics such as trauma, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and co-occurring substance use and mental health challenges. She has substantial experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients build practical skills and promote meaningful change.

Christina has worked in a variety of environments including community mental health centers, outpatient clinics, primary care settings, community outreach, and with the court system on guardianship matters. Many people she has worked with carry histories of trauma that affect self-worth, attachment, and expectations for the future, and her practice often addresses those impacts. She aims to empower people by helping them overcome personal barriers, highlight strengths, and pursue life goals, offering supportive, empathetic guidance throughout the therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-informed work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness skills to increase psychological flexibility and support people facing chronic worries, mood challenges, or life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can be useful for addressing intimacy issues, attachment struggles, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts pacing so therapy feels aligned with what the client hopes to achieve, treating the work as a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

Online therapy with Christina makes this collaborative work more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to engage from home or other environments, and allow clients to choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
