About Christiane

Christiane Wilson-Dunlap is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and low self esteem. She works with those coping with life changes and supports people managing postpartum concerns, mood problems, and issues tied to adoption or foster care. Christiane is based in Nevada and brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She encourages clients to name what matters to them and to try small changes that add up over time.

Christiane blends several approaches in therapy. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help calm the body and increase focus. She also draws on tools from Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy when those methods match a person's needs.

Clients can expect a balance of talk and skill-building. Christiane listens for patterns that keep people stuck and then practices new ways of responding together in session. She aims to support self-love, clearer communication, and stronger emotional coping.

Her work emphasizes real-life improvements. People who want help with life purpose, isolation, family of origin concerns, or navigating pregnancy and childbirth may find practical support. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Christiane’s approaches translate to online work

Christiane often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build calmer habits. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns that lead to distress and practicing small behavior changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people need support finding their own reasons to change. That approach involves gentle questions and reflections to clarify goals and increase motivation. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful before deciding on tools to try.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Christiane’s profile does not specify formats here, so check which session types she offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt CBT, mindfulness exercises, and motivational conversations to work well in remote sessions, and Christiane will help pick methods that fit your schedule and goals.
