About Christine

Christine Logan is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people strengthen self-esteem, manage life changes, and recover from addictions and compassion fatigue. Her style aims to be warm and straightforward so people can talk honestly about hard things.

Christine centers sessions on the person in front of her. She listens closely and uses practical tools to help people reduce shame, build self-love, and clarify life purpose. Conversations may include looking at personal stories, learning emotion-regulation skills, and noticing patterns that repeat in relationships.

Her work often supports people from the LGBTQ community facing identity and sexuality questions. She also helps those facing workplace stress, caregiver strain, and grief at the end of life. Cultural and systemic issues such as prejudice and discrimination are noticed and addressed when they affect emotional well-being.

Therapeutic methods draw from client-centered approaches, mindfulness practice, psychodynamic ideas, narrative work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions blend listening, guided reflection, and concrete exercises tailored to each person’s goals. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People choose Christine to explore attachment patterns, reduce impulsivity, and heal guilt or shame. She also provides support for gender dysphoria questions, HIV and AIDS related concerns, and midlife transitions. Those interested in working together complete an intake and set goals before ongoing sessions begin.

How her approaches can work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard, clarify goals, and build self-trust by shaping sessions around what matters most to them.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive behaviors. It can help with self-control, coping under stress, and improving emotional balance.

Mindfulness therapy trains attention to the present moment and gentle awareness of thoughts and feelings. That practice supports reduced rumination, greater calm, and clearer decision-making during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment can shift over time as priorities change or as certain skills become more useful.

The biography does not list session formats, so confirm options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, choose not to be on camera, or fit sessions into a lunch break. Ask about specific scheduling and format choices when you set up the first appointment.
