About Christiane
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of experience, licensed in Nevada and Arizona. Christiane Wilson-Dunlap helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.
Christiane uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused work, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues come up. Conversations focus on realistic steps, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and building skills for day-to-day coping.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about problems and doable strategies to try between sessions. Christiane asks concrete questions, helps set small goals, and checks progress along the way. She also addresses specific concerns like adoption and foster care issues, postpartum and pregnancy-related mood changes, and struggles that come from family of origin dynamics.
Her background includes clinical work across levels of care addressing mental health and substance-use concerns. That range informs practical planning for mood disorders, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), and ongoing challenges with isolation or life-purpose questions. Sessions also cover communication problems and improving relationship interactions.
Christiane works with individuals who are navigating young adulthood, women's issues, or parenting-related stressors. Language offered is English only. For international clients, she is not currently accepting remote work outside the United States.

How Christiane applies therapeutic methods online
Christiane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework; it helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with mood regulation and coping during life changes.She also integrates Motivational Interviewing when clients need to sort ambivalence about change. That approach uses focused questions and reflective listening to clarify values and boost readiness for steps like behavior change or treatment engagement. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than following one fixed model.
