About Kris

Kris Fant is a licensed counselor who blends practical behavior work with a warm, supportive style. She uses clear, down-to-earth language to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Many come for help with anxiety, stress, low self esteem, depression, addiction concerns, or relationship strain.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Gonzaga University and a Master of Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. Kris has eight years of experience as a mental health counselor and has worked in teaching, group leadership, crisis stabilization, and domestic violence advocacy.

Kris focuses on health behaviors that affect daily life, such as sleep routines, persistent pain management, substance use, exercise habits, and relaxation skills. In sessions she offers straightforward tools to change habits and small steps that add up over time.

Her approach draws from psychodynamic, attachment, Rogerian, and behavioral ideas to shape individualized care. She emphasizes clients' existing strengths and helps them apply those strengths to relationships, work, and personal health.

People who are unsure where to start can expect collaborative planning. Kris helps identify practical next steps and supports progress toward clearer goals. She practices in Oregon and provides services in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Psychodynamic ideas focus on patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. Online sessions use conversation to notice those patterns and try new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, low self esteem, and relationship concerns.

Behavioral techniques concentrate on changing specific habits and routines. In remote work this often means setting small experiments around sleep, exercise, relaxation, or substance use and tracking what works between sessions to build momentum.

Attachment-informed work looks at how early connection styles affect current relationships. Through talk and practical strategies, the therapist helps people try different ways of relating and communicating with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to share feedback so sessions stay focused on their needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility.

Before starting online therapy, confirm the current session options, scheduling arrangements, and fees. Discuss what will help you take part comfortably and how to fit appointments around everyday commitments. Agree on the next steps with the therapist so you know what to expect.
