About Kriss
Dr. Kriss Wiant is a psychologist based in Ohio with thirty years of experience. He brings a practical, steady approach to common struggles like stress, anxiety, and depression.
He speaks plainly and helps people figure out small, workable steps toward feeling better. He emphasizes a collaborative relationship where the client’s experience guides the work. Early meetings are used to see if the fit feels right and to set achievable goals together.
Background and approach
Questions are welcome at any time about the direction of care. In sessions he listens for patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems in place. He helps people notice unhelpful beliefs and then practices alternative ways of thinking and relating.
That often includes skill-building for communication, anger, or parenting challenges. Dr. Wiant’s background includes military service and time as a high school teacher, along with long work in various psychology settings.
Those experiences inform a practical style that aims for real-world change rather than abstract theory. He uses several well-known approaches, choosing what fits the person and the problem. For someone dealing with grief, social anxiety, ADHD, or first responder issues, he works to create concrete strategies and steady progress.
The focus stays on what helps each person move forward.
Approaches and online options for steady, practical work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s perspective. The therapist offers steady attention and supports people to find their own solutions, which helps with low confidence, grief, and relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking that keep people stuck and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and social fears.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can serve as shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and busy days while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
