About Christine
Christine Broadwater is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 33 years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and mood-related issues. Christine focuses on practical, straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and patterns and helps people use those strengths to address what feels stuck. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused, with attention to real-life problems at home and work.
Christine uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix supports work on coping skills, mood regulation, and changing unhelpful thoughts or behaviors. She draws on these tools to address concerns such as parenting strain, intimate relationship tensions, and adjustment after loss or separation.
People who come for help can expect clear, practical suggestions alongside time to talk through difficult memories and current challenges. Christine pays attention to how family background and culture shape problems and solutions. She also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, postpartum depression, ADHD, and multicultural concerns.
Sessions begin by identifying immediate priorities and reasonable first steps. Over time, work may move toward improving communication, managing emotions, and building routines that reduce stress and support daily functioning.
How sessions work
How Christine applies therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. It helps people clarify what matters most to them and guides practical steps for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adapts tools from these approaches to support managing parenting strain, relationship tension, trauma symptoms, and mood concerns.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it practical to continue care while juggling family responsibilities, work breaks, or other commitments. Licensed professionals can adjust session pacing and use skill-practice between meetings to help progress over time.
