Christine Broadwater

Christine Broadwater is a licensed counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 33 years of experience. She focuses on practical concerns like relationships, parenting, stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Christine emphasizes clients' own strengths and works alongside them as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

She listens first and follows the client's lead to shape sessions. Christine encourages people to name the problems that matter to them and to try concrete strategies that fit daily life. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward rather than overly technical.

Christine uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to prioritize the person's goals, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful patterns, and dialectical behavior ideas to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when they suit a client's goals.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns including grief, bipolar and mood disorders, ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with life transitions, caregiver strain, adoption and foster care questions, and multicultural stresses.

Therapy with Christine aims to be down-to-earth and useful. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments between meetings, and building skills that make daily life easier. She helps people notice what’s working, adjust what isn’t, and move forward at a manageable pace.

How Christine Uses Talk Therapy and Skill Work Online

Christine combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. Client-centered Therapy means the conversation follows the client's priorities and goals, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior and trying small experiments to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Christine will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and preferences. That conversation is collaborative: goals, comfort with different techniques, and daily life constraints guide the plan.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then talk through what did and didn’t help with the therapist. Licensed professionals can combine conversation, skill coaching, and between-session tasks to help you move toward clearer, manageable goals.
