Christina Laborde, LCSW

Christina Laborde is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on addictions alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. She approaches clients with respect and compassion, aiming to support and empower people as they work through difficult experiences. Christina adapts her conversations and plans to each person’s needs so therapy fits their life and goals.

With ten years of experience, she has worked in settings that included active duty military, veterans, adolescents, adults, and people who were incarcerated. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style of care. She pays attention to how past hurts affect current choices and relationships.

In sessions she helps people manage anxiety, improve self-esteem, and address guilt or shame. Christina also addresses attachment struggles and communication problems that get in the way of close relationships. Her work includes helping people find clearer purpose and rebuild self-love after loss or trauma.

She lays out treatment plans together with the person in front of her and adjusts them as progress is made. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at developing skills people can use between sessions. Christina supports people as they practice new behaviors and problem-solving strategies.

Christina practices in Florida and speaks English. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then helps people try practical steps that match their situation. To begin, a short intake helps pair goals with a plan she will revisit over time.

How Christina Blends Evidence-Based Techniques with Online Care

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and coping strategies. One common approach emphasizes building practical coping skills to manage anxiety and cravings; it teaches concrete steps to reduce distress and handle urges in the moment. Another approach looks at the effects of trauma on thinking and behavior, helping people process painful events and reduce their hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Christina listens to each person’s story, goals, and preferences, then suggests techniques that might fit. She checks in along the way and adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy matches changing needs.

The benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility for scheduling and fewer interruptions to daily routines. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow conversations from a familiar setting. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to learn whether video, phone, or other formats are available. Regardless of format, the focus is on practical tools and steady progress that fit into everyday life.
