About Christine
Christine Busch is a licensed professional counselor with more than three decades of experience. She practices in Missouri and offers a direct, interactive style that centers on the person in front of her. She listens first, then helps people sort through what matters to them.
Her approach is practical and grounded in everyday steps that can be used between sessions. Christine often helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety.
Background and approach
She also works with depression, grief, trauma and addiction concerns. Relationship strain, intimacy questions, parenting stress, career shifts and issues around self-esteem are among the topics she sees often. Her work is strength-based.
Christine treats clients as the expert on their own lives and uses that perspective to guide conversations. She may suggest specific exercises or short tasks to try between sessions to test out new ways of coping. Christine draws on cognitive behavioral techniques when helpful to identify thought patterns and try small behavior changes.
She also uses client-centered listening and solution-focused steps to keep therapy practical and goal-oriented. Trauma-focused ideas are applied when a client’s history is affecting daily life. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist tend to fit well with her style.
She helps connect clients to community resources when needed. Sessions are aimed at making manageable changes and building on existing strengths.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It emphasizes empathy and collaboration so the client helps set goals and decide the pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and uses small, practical exercises to try new ways of coping between sessions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then recommend ways to proceed. They adjust methods over time based on how the client responds and what feels most useful.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins or ongoing support without scheduling a full video meeting. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into a busy life.
