About Christina
Christina LaBond is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a narrative-informed approach alongside practical therapy methods. She focuses on helping people untangle overwhelming stories about themselves and rewrite them in manageable ways. Christina offers clear, steady support for stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, depression, trauma, and related concerns.
She brings eight years of outpatient experience and a trauma-aware lens to each session. Christina combines narrative thinking with cognitive behavioral tools and acceptance strategies to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be direct and collaborative, with an emphasis on building everyday skills. Her background includes work in community mental health, clinic settings, primary care, and court-related guardianship work. Christina has led psychoeducational groups on trauma, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and co-occurring substance use and mental health.
That variety shaped her practical focus on symptom management and strengths. People who come to Christina often want help with relationships, grief, addictions, intimacy questions, sleep problems, anger, or coping with life changes. She also pays attention to attachment concerns and issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and commitment worries.
Her style is warm and empowering. Christina aims to help people recognize personal resources, practice new coping skills, and move toward goals that matter to them. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Online session options
How narrative and evidence-based methods translate to online care
Christina integrates Narrative therapy ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches to shape online sessions. Narrative work helps people step back from the stories that define them and consider alternative meanings. That approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and grief. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a life they care about; it helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Attachment-Based work looks at how early connections affect current relationships and helps people develop more supported ways of relating. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively to figure out what fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to what matters most, suggests techniques from different approaches, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing interaction skills. Phone sessions can be a better option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, journaling prompts, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and access consistent therapeutic guidance.Common questions about this listing
