About Christine

Christine Broadwater is a licensed mental health counselor in North Carolina with 33 years of clinical experience. She draws on a broad background working with relationship challenges, family conflicts, parenting concerns, trauma, motivation, self-esteem, and mood-related issues including depression and bipolar disorder.

Background and approach

Christine approaches each person with the assumption that they are the expert on their own life and brings a strengths-based orientation to help clients build on what already works for them. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify practical changes and inner resources that support more satisfying relationships and improved emotional regulation.

Christine integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy to address stress, anxiety, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also attends to a wide range of additional concerns including adoption and foster care issues, multicultural matters, postpartum depression, and ADHD.

Her style is supportive and client-centered, aiming to guide people through life transitions with respect for their goals and values.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online therapy

Christine often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools for changing daily habits that interfere with wellbeing.

She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are primary concerns. DBT emphasizes skills in managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which can be helpful for people facing relationship strains, anger, or mood instability.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the fit of different methods, adjusting techniques over time to match progress and changing needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care around work and family obligations, support consistency during life transitions, and allow clients to choose the format that best fits their scheduling and communication style.
