About Kriss

Dr. Kriss Wiant brings three decades of experience to therapeutic work in Ohio. He is an OH Psychologist P.4840 and has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and midlife crisis among other concerns. He writes plainly about the importance of a good fit between therapist and client and encourages questions in early sessions.

His background includes military service, classroom teaching, and long work in clinical settings. Those varied roles shaped a practical view of emotional struggles and everyday pressures. He aims to help people move past discouragement toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

In sessions he pays steady attention to a person’s perceptions, beliefs, and feelings. He emphasizes a collaborative relationship where problems are understood together and realistic goals are set. Conversations are focused on identifying internal resources that can support change.

Dr. Wiant looks at how habitual patterns of thinking and inaccurate self-beliefs affect mood and relationships. He uses that understanding to build skills that address barriers to progress. That may include techniques to shift unhelpful thinking or practice clearer communication skills.

People who want a straightforward, goal-focused approach tend to find his style easy to follow. He encourages small, achievable steps and concrete strategies so progress can be noticed between sessions. Prospective clients are invited to ask about fit during initial meetings.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change, which can work well in conversation-based online sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and worry about life stages like midlife transitions and adapts well to guided exercises during remote meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use different tools such as worksheets or mindfulness exercises between appointments to support steady progress.
