About Christiane
Christiane Wilson-Dunlap is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Nevada and Arizona. Christiane focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and young adult issues.
She uses clear, practical conversations to help people name what feels most upsetting. Sessions often focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. Christiane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and Mindfulness practices to build calm attention.
Her work also integrates relational tools for communication. That includes elements of the Gottman Method for people wanting to improve how they talk and connect. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs support making a change.
Christiane has experience across mental health and substance use settings, and she brings that background into outpatient work. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where honesty and practical goals guide the work.
People who come to her often want straightforward help with transitions - leaving home, starting work, or navigating new relationships. She supports parents and birthing people around pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum mood concerns, and she also works with issues tied to adoption, foster care, and family of origin.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to life transitions.The Gottman Method offers practical exercises for improving communication and reducing conflict. It uses skills-based work to help partners or individuals practice clearer ways of talking and listening.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase focus. It can help with worry, sleep problems, and feeling overwhelmed during big life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christiane will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust strategies based on what is helpful in practice.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.

Licensed professionals adapt these approaches for remote sessions so you can try practical CBT exercises, communication practice, or mindfulness tools between meetings.
