About Christina
Christina Laborde is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Christina also addresses attachment issues, communication struggles, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, mood disorders, self-love, and social anxiety.
She has worked across settings that included active duty military, veterans, adolescents, adults, and people who have been incarcerated. That background means she has experience hearing difficult stories and helping people find practical ways to manage day-to-day distress. Conversations are direct and focused on goals you name.
In sessions she adapts dialogue and a treatment plan to fit what each person needs. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep problems going. Expect clear discussion about thoughts, behaviors, and choices you can try between meetings.
Christina pays attention to how relationships and early attachments shape current feelings, including guilt and shame. She helps people untangle where blame belongs and where habits of self-blame persist. Work can include looking at communication habits and practicing new ways of speaking and listening.
People who come for help with addiction, mood symptoms, or trauma find practical steps and regular check-ins useful. To start, she asks about what matters most now and what reasonable short-term goals look like. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Christina works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that address thinking patterns and behavior. Cognitive-style approaches look at unhelpful thoughts and test them against real situations to reduce anxious thinking and persistent self-blame. Behavioral strategies focus on small, concrete changes people can try between sessions to shift mood and reduce addictive behaviors.She also pays attention to attachment and communication patterns. This involves mapping how past relationships influence current reactions and practicing new ways of expressing needs and limits. These methods can be useful for working through feelings of guilt and shame linked to relationships or past events.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps focus sessions on what matters most to the person seeking help.
