About Christine
Christine Broadwater is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 33 years of professional experience. She works with people who face relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, and anger. She also helps with mood disorders and life transitions.
Broadwater encourages clients to view themselves as the expert on their own story. She looks for strengths people already have and uses those as starting points. The first step is often the hardest, and she aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and practical.
Her background spans many settings across three decades, which informs a flexible approach to common problems. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each persons priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that maintain stress and anger, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions may include mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing techniques to build motivation and small changes over time. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals and techniques are shaped by what works in real life. Practical tools and short-term behavior changes are often part of the work.
Christine supports people dealing with grief, LGBT concerns, adoption and foster care issues, postpartum challenges, ADHD, and caregiver stress among other focus areas. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her long experience helping clients manage emotions and improve daily functioning.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the client and building on existing strengths. This approach helps clarify personal goals and keeps sessions directed by the person seeking help.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses, which can reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and handling conflict without escalating. Skills training can include techniques for distress tolerance and better emotional awareness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.

These practical benefits often help people keep momentum while they practice new skills.
