Christine Broadwater

Christine Broadwater is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 33 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. She emphasizes starting where a person is and building on existing strengths.

She believes each person knows their own story best and brings strength to the work. Sessions aim to identify practical steps that fit daily life. Christine frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her work often addresses self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing grief, intimacy-related worries, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and bipolar or depressive symptoms. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and multicultural concerns.

Christine uses approaches that match a person’s needs. That may mean drawing on client-centered methods to follow a client's priorities, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits, or dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also inform her work when helpful.

People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation and practical tools. She encourages small experiments between sessions and regular check-ins on what is or isn’t working. The goal is clearer choices and more manageable day-to-day life.

How Christine’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy is about following a person’s lead and focusing on what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to name problems and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits someone’s real life and changes over time if needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also make regular practice and follow-up simpler, so tools learned in sessions get used during the week.
