About Christine
Christine Broadwater is a licensed counselor in North Carolina with 33 years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, parenting questions, trauma and abuse, mood difficulties, and stress-related issues. Christine centers sessions on each person's strengths and life story.
She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported. Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first to understand what matters most to each client.
Background and approach
From there she uses tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, and mindfulness to help people try new ways of coping. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than overly technical. Christine often helps people who feel stuck after major life changes or who struggle with anxiety, depression, or parenting stress.
She also works with concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care matters and blended family challenges. Over three decades of practice have given her experience across many settings.
She draws on psychodynamic ideas and motivational interviewing when exploring patterns and building motivation for change. Her style is steady, respectful, and down-to-earth. People who want a therapist who listens, names practical next steps, and builds on their existing strengths may find her approach fits well.
Christine offers sessions in English and practices from North Carolina.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and life stress
Christine uses client-centered therapy to create a space that honors each person's experience and goals. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people notice their own strengths and choices when facing parenting stress, relationship strain, or life transitions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try specific strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or handle day-to-day parenting difficulties. Dialectical behavior therapy is used for emotion regulation and building skills for intense feelings; it offers concrete practices for coping with anger, overwhelm, and impulse control.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
