Christiane Wilson-Dunlap

Christiane Wilson-Dunlap is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience and licensure in Nevada and Arizona. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Christiane also focuses on issues related to adoption and foster care, family of origin problems, postpartum concerns, pregnancy and childbirth, and questions around life purpose.

Her sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She uses practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness practices to slow down overwhelming feelings and on Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make real changes.

Christiane’s background includes work across settings that treated mental health and substance use challenges at different levels of care. That experience informs how she structures sessions and follows up on progress. People can expect clear steps, tools to practice between sessions, and attention to what they want to get out of therapy.

She describes her approach as inviting honesty and owning personal truths. Conversations often include exploring values, testing small behavior changes, and strengthening communication in close relationships. Christiane works with English-speaking adults and does not take international clients.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

CBT helps people notice patterns of thought that increase worry or low mood and then test small behavior changes to see what feels different. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and practical stressors.

The Gottman Method focuses on communication habits and problem-solving in close relationships. It provides concrete skills to reduce conflict and improve listening and connection between partners.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and steadying breathing or attention practices that reduce reactivity. It is useful for stress, rumination, and overwhelming emotions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep regular momentum while working on clear skills and communication habits.
