About Christine

Christine Busch is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with over three decades of clinical experience. She brings a strengths-focused, interactive style to her work, encouraging clients to tap their own insight while offering guidance when patterns or obstacles make progress difficult.

Background and approach

Christine has supported people facing mood concerns such as depression and anxiety, struggles with relationships and intimacy, grief and trauma, addictive behaviors, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other challenges. Her practice often combines practical skill-building with reflective discussion.

Christine incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques when helpful and may suggest exercises or observations to try between meetings to reinforce new habits. She also assists clients in identifying community resources and supports that complement therapy, aiming for realistic strategies that fit each person’s life and goals.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration, respect for the client’s expertise about their life, and focused work toward clearer coping and problem solving.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christine frequently uses client-centered principles to create a collaborative environment where the person’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps when someone needs space to explore values, meaning, or personal priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is treated as a cooperative process. The therapist works with each client to weigh goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, adapting methods over time so that interventions remain relevant and realistic for the person’s life and needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try brief check-ins, or use written exchanges to reflect on homework and skills between sessions, supporting steady progress while fitting therapy into everyday routines.
