About Christiane
Christiane Wilson-Dunlap is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She works with adults who want clearer communication, steadier moods, and more confidence.
Background and approach
Christiane often helps people navigating adoption and foster care concerns, postpartum and pregnancy challenges, and the transitions common to young adulthood. She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also integrates elements of mindfulness to help people calm their nervous system and stay present. Christiane incorporates the Gottman Method when relationship communication and repair are priorities.
Her background includes about 10 years of clinical work across mental health and substance use settings. She holds an LMFT and is licensed in Nevada and Arizona, which shapes how she approaches family and relationship dynamics.
That experience helps her tailor plans that fit real life and daily responsibilities. Sessions are conversational and goal focused.
Christiane places value on honesty, small measurable steps, and practical coping strategies. She helps people set short-term goals while also exploring longer-term growth and purpose.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She tries to make therapy straightforward so people can use what they learn right away and move toward steadier mood and clearer relationships.
How Christiane blends evidence-based methods online
Christiane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or low mood and to practice new behaviors that change those patterns. She also draws on the Gottman Method to guide clearer communication, reduce repeated arguments, and rebuild trust in close relationships. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple breathing and attention practices that lower reactivity and support mood regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christiane will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they choose or combine approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy fits the person, not the other way around.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for focused conversations and relationship work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, family, or other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
