About Christine
Christine Broadwater is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in North Carolina with 33 years of professional experience. She works with people who are facing relationship and family conflict, parenting strain, trauma, low self-esteem, motivation problems, stress, and anxiety. She also supports people navigating grief, mood concerns, and life changes.
Broadwater uses a straightforward, people-centered approach that treats clients as experts on their own lives. She listens to the specific problems a person brings and looks for practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on small, doable steps rather than abstract theory.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Client-Centered methods to follow the client’s lead and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation when needed. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing techniques appear when they help clients notice what they want and build momentum toward it.
Clients can expect clear, task-oriented conversations that aim to make daily life easier. The therapist helps people try new responses to relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and mood symptoms. Progress is tracked through concrete goals and short-term experiments.

How CBT, client-centered work, and DBT translate to online sessions
Christine often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test small behavior changes, and choose responses that reduce stress and anxiety. CBT is practical and goal-focused, which fits problem-solving for relationships, parenting, and mood challenges.She also relies on Client-Centered techniques that prioritize listening and following the client’s concerns. That approach helps set priorities and decide what to address first. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are needed; these are concrete tools people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. Clients and therapist regularly review what is working and adjust methods as needed.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when appropriate, and let people use quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth options if needed. Licensed professionals adapt homework, skills practice, and tracking to online formats to keep sessions focused and practical.
