Christiane Wilson-DunlapLMFT

Christiane Wilson-Dunlap is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Nevada who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She also supports those facing mood disorders, postpartum depression, and concerns related to pregnancy and childbirth. Her tone is encouraging and practical, aimed at people looking for clear steps and real change.

Christiane draws on ten years of clinical experience across settings that included work with mental health and substance use challenges. She uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and test small changes. She also brings approaches that focus on communication and motivation when relationships or behavior change are central concerns.

Sessions tend to emphasize collaboration and problem solving. Clients can expect concrete skills they can try between sessions, along with space to talk through how change feels. The work balances present-day problem solving with attention to how past family patterns shape current choices.

Christiane is licensed in Nevada and Arizona as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She offers care in English and pulls from several therapy methods to match a person’s needs. Her style is warm but direct, aiming to make progress feel achievable.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on goals and practical next steps so sessions focus on what matters most. She invites questions and aims to make the first appointment easy to schedule.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Christiane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build stress-management routines. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can test small behavior changes and see different results. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anxiety and mood symptoms.

She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and interaction patterns in close relationships. These techniques focus on improving everyday conversations and repairing disconnects through practical exercises you can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christiane collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use mindfulness and communication exercises at home between appointments to reinforce progress.
