About Christine
Christine Busch is a licensed professional counselor with more than three decades of experience helping people navigate difficult emotions and life transitions. She works from Missouri and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Her approach centers on clients' strengths and on clear, interactive conversation to find workable next steps.
She sees a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger. Christine also supports people facing career stress, caregiving strain, addiction concerns, and the challenges that come with major life changes.
Background and approach
She helps LGBT individuals and those coping with ADHD and compassion fatigue as well. In sessions she uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques, and she may offer homework to practice between meetings. Christine emphasizes straightforward tools people can try, along with conversation that helps uncover what matters most to each person.
She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas when they fit the situation. Christine often helps people find community supports and practical resources outside therapy. Her style is interactive but respectful: she treats people as the experts on their lives while offering guidance and options.
Parents reading this will find clear language and a focus on real-world steps rather than jargon. Her work aims to reduce overwhelming feelings and build skills for daily life. People reach out for help with stress, relationship tension, grief, or the frustration that comes with ongoing change, and she focuses on what can be done now to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Christine uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions begin with the client's own goals and perspective. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people discover what matters to them and which steps feel right.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, anger, depression, and for learning new coping skills through short exercises and homework between sessions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Christine will talk through options and adjust methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not desired. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to keep momentum between meetings.
