About Christine
Christine Busch is a licensed professional counselor with more than three decades of experience helping people manage stress and emotional challenges. She practices in Missouri and brings a straightforward, interactive style to sessions. Christine emphasizes clients' strengths and invites them to be active partners in their care.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and grief. She also supports people facing relationship strain, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and career transitions.
Background and approach
Christine pays attention to how life changes and role demands can wear down resilience and coping skills. Christine tends to use practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches when helpful. She may suggest simple exercises or homework to try between meetings so progress can continue outside sessions.
At the same time she values listening and conversation when people need space to make sense of things. Her style is grounded and collaborative. She looks for existing strengths and builds on them, while helping people notice patterns that keep problems stuck.
Christine also helps people identify community supports and other resources when that makes sense. People who come to Christine often want clear, usable steps and a therapist who listens without judgment. She aims to make sessions focused, respectful, and relevant to day-to-day life.

Approaches and online options for practical change
Christine often draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and understood. This approach focuses on the person's perspective and strengths, helping them clarify values and decisions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when practical skill-teaching is useful; CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those priorities. She checks in and adjusts the plan over time so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
