Clinical approaches and online therapy options

Christine Broadwater integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore their own goals and values; it is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding and confidence. CBT teaches practical skills to recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. DBT offers strategies for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and coping with stress, making it a useful approach for those experiencing strong mood swings, anger, or difficulty with emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends listening and skill-building so the plan evolves alongside the client’s progress.

Online therapy with Christine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow continuity during transitions, and create multiple ways for clients to engage that suit their comfort and schedule while working with a licensed professional.
