About Christiane
Christiane Wilson-Dunlap is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Nevada and Arizona with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes. Her practice also addresses parenting transitions such as pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum challenges, and she helps people considering life purpose and young adult issues.
She uses straightforward, talk-based sessions where practical tools and clear goals guide the work. Christiane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses mindfulness techniques to develop present-moment awareness and Motivational Interviewing to clarify values and sustain change.
Clients can expect a focus on real-life problems like communication difficulties, family of origin matters, adoption and foster care concerns, and isolation or loneliness. She includes perspectives for mood disorders and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder when relevant. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable steps and practice skills between meetings.
Her background includes work across levels of care with people experiencing mental health and substance use challenges. That experience informs a practical approach that combines skill-building with attention to relationships. Christiane frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving rather than prescriptive advice.

How Christiane uses approaches and online sessions
Christiane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework to test new ways of responding.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase clarity in everyday moments. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation when someone is unsure about making a change.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Christiane will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on hectic days. If a client prefers fewer visual demands, options without video may be worth discussing when confirming session arrangements.
