About Christina
Christina Laborde is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience. She practices in Florida and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. Christina also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, mood disorders, self-love, social anxiety and questions about life purpose.
She has worked across different settings and with a range of people. Her background includes experience supporting adults and adolescents, and people who have served in the military or been involved with the justice system. Christina uses direct conversation and practical goals to make sessions useful from the first meeting.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and then tries out small, concrete changes. She adjusts topics and pacing to what the person needs in the moment. Instead of long theory, she focuses on what someone can do between appointments to notice progress.
Christina pays attention to relationships and how past hurts affect present choices. She helps people name feelings like shame, guilt, or fear and then practice different ways of responding. Work on life purpose often looks like clarifying values, testing new activities, and reducing barriers to making changes.
People who meet with her can expect straightforward conversation, goal-oriented steps, and a plan for follow-up. To begin, people choose the See online therapy options button, fill out a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Christina works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative perspectives through small behavioral experiments; this helps with anxiety, mood problems, and low self-esteem. Another approach centers on understanding attachment and relationship patterns, helping people see how past relationships affect current choices and communication.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, rates of progress, and personal preferences, and then try methods that match what the person needs. Adjustments are made along the way if something does not fit or produce useful change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often use video for in-depth work and phone for brief updates, but check the therapist's current offerings to choose what suits daily life best.
