Christine Busch's Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Christine integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship so clients can explore their own values and solutions; it is well suited for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and life transitions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete skills to change them - this approach can help with anxiety, depression, coping skills, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Christine also draws on trauma-focused strategies when addressing the effects of abuse or overwhelming events, using techniques that help process traumatic experiences and build safety and regulation skills.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself, and Christine works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining approaches to match the presenting concerns and the client’s pace.

Online therapy with Christine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make counseling more accessible for those managing work, caregiving, mobility, or geographic constraints while enabling ongoing therapeutic progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
