Christiane Wilson-Dunlap

Christiane Wilson-Dunlap is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and changes that come with pregnancy or new parenthood. She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges that come with adoption or foster care. Christiane practices in Nevada and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She talks with clients about what feels most urgent and helps them set short-term goals they can actually use. Sessions focus on skills you can try between meetings, clearer communication, and ways to handle mood shifts and major life transitions.

Christiane uses several methods in session, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking, Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness, and elements of the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy when those fit a client's needs.

She aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where people can name their truths and work toward realistic change. Christiane emphasizes self-compassion and practical steps rather than quick fixes. Her style mixes direct feedback with encouragement so clients leave with tools and clearer next steps.

How Christiane’s approaches translate to online care

Christiane often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns and try new behaviors; this approach works well when you want practical tools for anxiety, low mood, or stress. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and help when emotions run high. The Gottman Method is part of her toolkit for addressing communication and relationship patterns so couples or partners can learn clearer interaction habits.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christiane will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking since specific options are not listed in the biography. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days and supports steady progress between appointments. It can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule appointments around work, and keep continuity during life transitions without long commutes.
