About Christiane

Christiane Wilson-Dunlap is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Nevada. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Christiane also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care and other life transitions. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at helping people make steady progress one step at a time.

Christiane draws on ten years of clinical experience across different levels of care, including work with mood disorders and substance use challenges. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and motivational interviewing to build skills and clarity. Sessions typically involve identifying patterns, trying simple experiments between visits, and refining what helps most.

The approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Christiane encourages clients to name realistic goals and test small changes that lead to better day-to-day functioning. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, and feelings of isolation when those topics come up.

Pregnancy, postpartum challenges, and women's issues are part of her practice focus, as are young adult concerns and questions about life purpose. She is licensed in Nevada and Arizona as an LMFT and brings a compassionate, matter-of-fact tone to sessions.

How Christiane Uses Therapy Tools Online

Christiane often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in practical ways. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that improve mood and functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means trying techniques, checking what works, and adjusting the plan together over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and support regular check-ins between major life events. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others use session time for deeper skill-building and practice. The therapist will help match the schedule and methods to what best fits your day-to-day life.
