About Christine
Christine Logan is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addictions, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and concerns related to sexuality and identity. Christine also notes a focus on guilt and shame and on issues tied to multicultural backgrounds and discrimination.
Her approach centers on listening and on helping people name what feels stuck. Sessions often look at personal stories, current patterns, and what a client wants to change. She draws on methods that help people calm intense feelings and make clearer choices when reactions feel impulsive.
Christine uses client-centered conversation alongside practical skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices to steady strong emotions. She also brings narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand where painful beliefs and shame began. This mix supports work on identity, relationships at work, and self-worth.
She has a long record supporting LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria questions, HIV/AIDS related stress, caregiver strain, and end-of-life counseling. Many people consult her about attachment difficulties and midlife shifts when old ways of coping no longer work.
In sessions she helps clients sort through guilt and shame, build self-compassion, and identify small steps forward. Christine works in English and practices in California. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Christine blends approaches for remote work
Christine often draws on client-centered therapy to guide conversation and prioritize what matters most to the person. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients set the agenda so discussions stay relevant to their day-to-day struggles.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive actions. DBT skills teach concrete techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation, while mindfulness practices help people notice feelings without being swept away by them. These methods can be useful for issues like addictions, impulsivity, and chronic shame.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client talk through goals, preferences, and how interventions feel in practice, and then adjust the plan as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. Different formats can also reduce the need to be on camera or to take long breaks from work, depending on what the client prefers and what the therapist offers.
