About Christine
Christine Busch is a licensed professional counselor with more than three decades of clinical experience in Missouri. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She often frames sessions around a person’s strengths and practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her style is interactive and down-to-earth. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them name what matters.
Background and approach
Sometimes that means talking through a problem until a clearer option emerges. Other times it means setting brief tasks to practice new habits between sessions. Christine draws on cognitive behavioral strategies when they fit the situation.
She may suggest simple, goal-focused exercises and thought-record techniques to help change unhelpful patterns. These are offered as tools to try, not rigid rules to follow. She also uses client-centered principles, which focus on listening closely and responding to what the person brings into the room.
That approach guides how she builds trust and decides what to work on next. Over time she helps people connect practical changes to their everyday routines. Christine can help people locate community supports and resources when extra help is useful.
She aims to make conversations feel clear and manageable, so progress feels possible even when life feels overwhelming.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. It helps people who need a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort out their feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, offers practical exercises to change thought and behavior patterns and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and attention-related challenges. Solution-focused work zooms in on small, achievable goals and quick steps to move forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options and collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time based on what is helping and what is not, so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try therapeutic tools in real-world settings.
