Christine Busch is a licensed professional counselor who brings more than 32 years of experience to her work in Missouri. She focuses on clear, practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her style is interactive and grounded in strengths.
She listens, asks direct questions, and helps people find what they already know about their needs. Clients meet someone who treats conversation as the main tool. Christine often helps people talk through emotions, sort out priorities, and identify small steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
She may suggest simple exercises or reflections to practice at home so progress continues outside the appointment. Her background includes long experience across a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, parenting stress, ADHD, and caregiver strain. She has worked with people facing midlife changes, aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, and family-of-origin problems.
This long-term practice has given her familiarity with practical community supports and resources. Therapeutic approaches Christine uses include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, existential ideas, and trauma-focused methods. She adapts these to each person’s situation and pace.
The focus is on collaboration and on helping clients discover realistic steps they can take. People who seek her out tend to want straightforward conversation, clear goals, and tools they can use between sessions. Christine helps clients explore options, cope with life changes, and rebuild balance in everyday life.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy starts with the person’s experience. The therapist follows your lead, listens closely, and helps you clarify what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and a calm space to sort thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and small homework tasks to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. This method can help with stress, worry, and managing depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals and comfort. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts techniques if needed, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick reflections, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what works best.
