Christine Busch , LPC

Christine Busch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 32 years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health concerns. She draws on decades of work with mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, and more severe mental illness to offer informed, practical care.

Her style is interactive and strength-based, grounded in the belief that each person is the expert on their own life. Christine emphasizes collaboration - listening closely, reflecting strengths, and helping clients talk through challenges until clearer ways forward emerge. She also assists clients in identifying and connecting with community supports when additional resources are helpful.

Christine frequently integrates cognitive behavioral techniques into her work and may suggest relevant exercises or “homework” to extend progress between sessions. As an experienced LPC, she combines practical tools with empathic listening to help people develop coping skills, improve relationships, and navigate life transitions.

Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapy with Christine Busch

Christine Busch uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, validating strengths, and helping people identify their own goals and solutions, often helping with relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. When trauma is a central concern, trauma-focused therapy techniques are used to address the specific impact of traumatic experiences and to build coping strategies for recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, accessible support from different locations while tailoring the format to what works best for the individual.
