About Christiane
Christiane Wilson-Dunlap helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Nevada. The first step is simple: talk about what feels most urgent and make a practical plan to move forward.
Christiane uses straightforward tools to help people manage mood and find clearer direction. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
How Christiane works
Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the mind and improve focus. The Gottman Method informs relationship work aimed at better communication and connection. Her background includes ten years working across different levels of care, including mental health and substance use settings.
That experience shaped a flexible style that blends skills training, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused care when it fits the situation. She emphasizes realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth.
Clients can expect clear takeaways, small homework steps, and regular checks on what is or isn't working. Christiane frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client's priorities guide each session. She also offers support for issues such as adoption and foster care concerns, family of origin and communication problems, postpartum challenges, and struggles with isolation or life purpose.
Christiane works with adults navigating young adulthood and women who want focused help with self-love and life transitions.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Christiane frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change small patterns of behavior. CBT sessions online often include simple exercises and homework that can be reviewed between meetings. The Gottman Method is used for relationship-focused work to improve communication and reduce recurring conflicts through structured exercises and skill practice.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences and make adjustments as needed. That collaborative process helps match methods like CBT or Gottman tools to what a person most wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short reflections, and maintaining momentum between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep consistent progress.
