Christine Logan, LMFT

Christine Logan is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing addictions, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She also supports LGBTQ+ individuals and those wrestling with identity and sexuality concerns.

Christine focuses on practical work that matters day to day. Sessions often look at how shame, guilt, and attachment patterns affect choices. She helps people find clearer life purpose and build more self-love in small, steady steps.

Her background includes long experience with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and issues connected to HIV and AIDS. She also brings attention to workplace problems and the impact of prejudice and discrimination on wellbeing. Her years in practice inform a calm, steady presence during difficult conversations.

Therapy draws on several approaches depending on the person’s needs. Christine uses client-centered techniques to prioritize the person’s goals, dialectical behavior therapy tools to manage intense emotions, and narrative work to reframe personal stories. She also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when those fit the situation.

People who choose her report a straightforward, respectful style that aims to make change manageable. Christine works collaboratively, helping each person decide what to try next and adjusting the plan as life shifts.

How her methods translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy places the persons values and goals at the center of sessions. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients decide what matters most. This approach helps with identity questions, self-esteem, and finding direction.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and impulsive behavior. It teaches strategies for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication, which can help with addictions and crisis moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan when something is not helping. That lets clients test what works without committing to a single path up front.

Online therapy can make it easier to keep sessions in your routine and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when life gets busy or let someone choose sessions that fit a work break. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since options are determined by the therapist and platform. Many people find that the same approaches used in person translate well to remote sessions when matched to individual needs.
