Christina LaBond, LCSW
Somatic-informed therapy with practical skills
About Christina
Christina LaBond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of outpatient practice. She works from a somatic-informed perspective and blends talk and body-aware ways of working to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. Christina helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, grief, and substance concerns.
She also supports people with intimacy questions, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. Many referrals come from people wanting practical skills and a clearer sense of direction.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes several therapies to match what each person needs. Christina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people get clear about values and take small steps toward them. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Attachment-based ideas also guide conversations about safety and trust in relationships. Christina’s background includes work in community mental health, clinics, primary care, and court-related guardianship work. She has run psychoeducational groups on trauma, anxiety, depression, psychosis, and co-occurring substance use.
That variety shaped a practical, skills-focused style that still centers each person’s strengths. Sessions aim to build symptom management skills while also strengthening a person’s sense of self. Christina meets people where they are and helps them try approaches that fit their goals.
She practices in North Carolina and offers psychotherapy in English.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to sensations in the body and how stress shows up physically; it can help people notice and soften tension patterns that keep them stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and offers ways to build safer, more trusting relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina will work together with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative effort where techniques are tried, adjusted, and chosen based on what helps most in daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and practice skills in real time, while phone and messaging provide easier access when schedules or location make video difficult. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on skills between meetings.
