About Christine

Christine Broadwater is a licensed mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 33 years of professional experience. She draws on a broad clinical background to assist people facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, parenting challenges, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes the client’s own expertise about their life, building on existing strengths to address problems that interfere with wellbeing. Christine combines practical therapeutic methods with a respectful, collaborative stance.

She integrates cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness-informed tools to help clients develop clearer thinking, more effective coping skills, and improved emotional regulation. Clients working with her can expect support navigating life transitions, grief, mood concerns, stress and anxiety, and other issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, and intimacy-related problems.

Throughout her long career she has worked across many related areas including adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and multicultural concerns. Christine frames therapy as a courageous step and offers steady guidance as people pursue more fulfilling, balanced lives.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building



Christine commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then developing alternative strategies and concrete skills to reduce distress and improve functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides the work and personal strengths are honored.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine treats that as a collaborative decision. She will explore a person’s goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past to shape an individualized plan that may combine elements from different approaches.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for those balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats support continuity of care and make it possible to practice skills between sessions, while allowing therapists and clients to find rhythms and tools that fit each person’s schedule and needs.
