About Christiane
Christiane Wilson-Dunlap is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of clinical experience. She practices in Nevada and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Christiane also focuses on issues linked to adoption and foster care, family of origin difficulties, and challenges around pregnancy, postpartum, and young adulthood.
Her sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She uses clear tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions involve talking through current struggles, trying small behavioral changes, and tracking what works. Christiane emphasizes direct steps people can take between appointments.
She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and test new ways of responding. She also integrates elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a focus, and mindfulness techniques to help with stress and emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing appears when people are weighing change and need help clarifying their reasons.
Christiane’s background includes work across levels of care for mental health and substance use concerns. That experience informs her practical focus on problem solving and relapse prevention. She asks clear questions and sets measurable objectives so progress can be seen over time.
Sessions are conducted in English. Christiane does not accept international clients. Scheduling begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session through the site.
How her approaches come through in online sessions
Christiane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test thoughts that worsen stress and low mood. CBT sessions focus on clear behavioral experiments, homework between sessions, and tracking changes in mood and habits.She also brings in the Gottman Method when communication or relationship patterns are a central concern. That method emphasizes specific communication skills, identifying repeating interaction cycles, and practicing new ways to talk about conflict and connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christiane discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods based on what is most useful for the presenting problem. She aims to collaborate on a plan that includes concrete steps and measurable goals.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the available session options and scheduling details through the site before your first appointment.
