About Christiane
Christiane Wilson-Dunlap is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Nevada and Arizona and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Christiane also offers support around adoption and foster care, postpartum and perinatal concerns, and issues common to young adults and women.
Clients meet with her to talk through family of origin issues and patterns that continue to affect current choices and relationships. She also addresses communication problems, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, not on labels or guarantees.
Christiane uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She uses elements of the Gottman Method to look at interaction patterns in close relationships. Mindfulness and motivational techniques appear when practicing new responses and strengthening commitment to change.
Her background includes work across levels of care with mental health and substance use concerns. That experience informs how she organizes treatment plans and tracks progress. Language offered is English and she sees clients based in Nevada under her Nevada LMFT credential.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Christiane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method as part of her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps reduce distress. The Gottman Method looks at how people interact in close relationships and teaches concrete skills for communication and problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christiane will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what the person reports and how well the strategies are working.
