About Christine
Christine Busch is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 32 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and relationship concerns. Her style is interactive and strength-based, and she treats each person as the expert on their life.
Christine listens closely and helps clients talk through what matters most to them. She offers a calm, practical presence and often uses homework to build new habits between sessions.
Background and approach
She also helps people identify and connect with community supports when that will help recovery. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses client-centered listening to make sure a person's goals guide the work.
Existential ideas inform conversations about meaning, values, and life choices. Sessions are geared toward clear, usable steps. Christine prioritizes simple strategies people can try right away, plus reflection on deeper questions when that fits.
She helps people balance short-term coping with longer-term change. People who appreciate a collaborative, practical therapist often do well with her style. She invites honest conversation, gentle challenge, and focused action.
The aim is to help someone move forward from feeling stuck toward workable change.

Online support
How therapy methods translate to online care
Christine often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and existential conversation. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's goals, helping someone feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to create concrete changes through exercises and homework. Existential conversation examines values, meaning, and life choices to help people make decisions that fit who they want to be.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats make this work flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support brief check-ins, and text-based messaging works well for ongoing, short updates between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
