About Christina
Christina Laborde is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of experience based in Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Christina also focuses on attachment issues, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, mood struggles, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Her background includes work with adults and adolescents in a variety of settings. Christina has experience supporting people with military connections and those involved in the justice system. That practical experience shaped how she talks with people and plans short- and longer-term work.
In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to what each person needs. She listens for priorities such as reducing anxiety, managing cravings, repairing relationships, or clarifying purpose, then sets goals that match those priorities. Sessions are straightforward and focused on usable strategies and clearer next steps.
Christina emphasizes direct, respectful dialogue and supports people as they practice different ways of responding to stress and social situations. She helps clients work on behavior changes, rebuild a sense of self, and practice communication skills in small, concrete steps. Progress is tracked through regular check-ins and adjustments to the plan.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The intake helps identify goals and practical next steps for therapy.
Approaches Christina Uses and how online work can fit
Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change and coping skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in small steps; it is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and tackling social fears. Another approach emphasizes building communication and attachment skills so people can notice patterns in relationships and try different responses to improve connection and boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques to use based on goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. She adjusts plans regularly and checks progress so the method fits actual needs.
