About Christine

Christine Logan is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience helping people navigate addictions, identity concerns, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She focuses on supporting clients who are coping with self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, and the challenges that arise during periods of personal change, and she brings a particular emphasis to LGBT issues and multicultural stressors. Her work blends attuned, client-centered listening with evidence-informed strategies drawn from Internal Family Systems, DBT, mindfulness, narrative, and psychodynamic approaches.

That blend aims to help clients untangle patterns rooted in attachment and shame, clarify life purpose, and build healthier responses to workplace or caregiver stress. Christine also addresses issues related to gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and other situations that involve complex emotion and identity.

Clients will find a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for exploring sexuality, prejudice or discrimination impacts, impulse-related challenges, and midlife or career transitions. She supports the cultivation of self-love and resilience while helping clients develop practical coping skills and narrative shifts to sustain meaningful change.

How Christine's Approaches Work Online

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is centered on recognizing and dialoguing with the various parts of a person so they can be understood and healed; it can be helpful for working through internal conflicts, shame, and identity-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the therapist's unconditional positive regard to help clients find their own voice and direction, often supporting self-esteem and life-purpose work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which is useful for impulsivity, compassion fatigue, and high-intensity emotions.

Finding the best fit among these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and may integrate elements of different methods to match what feels most helpful in therapy sessions.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow flexible access to care and make it easier to maintain continuity during busy or transitional periods. These options support ongoing skill practice between sessions and provide alternatives for scheduling or mobility constraints, helping clients stay engaged with therapy regardless of physical distance.
