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 who are dealing with relationship problems, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, trauma, anxiety, mood concerns, and other life stresses. Christine emphasizes practical steps clients can take to address pressing difficulties and regain a clearer sense of direction.
Her approach treats the person first rather than a label. She draws on client-centered ideas to listen closely to what matters to each person. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices help with emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.
Christine often helps people unpack how early family patterns continue to affect current choices and relationships, including family of origin issues. She also addresses topics such as adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, postpartum changes, and grief. Sessions focus on concrete skills and clearer understanding, not jargon.
She frames therapy as a collaboration. Work in sessions can include talking through recent events, practicing new responses, and setting small doable goals between meetings. The style is straightforward and oriented toward change over time.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the counselor role and credential she holds in North Carolina. Clients who want to begin are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a first meeting.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's own goals and perspective at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the client clarify priorities and make choices that feel right for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. It uses straightforward exercises to test new thinking patterns and build practical skills for anxiety, low mood, and relationship tension.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interactions. It includes strategies for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and more effective communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, adjusting based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful in sessions.
