About Kriss
Dr. Kriss Wiant is a psychologist based in Ohio with three decades of experience helping people navigate life’s hard moments. He holds the OH Psychologist credential P.4840 and brings a practical, steady style to sessions.
He encourages questions and believes a good fit between client and therapist matters from the start. He has worked in varied roles, including as a military veteran and a former high school teacher, which shaped his understanding of many different life stresses.
Background and approach
That background informs how he listens for beliefs and patterns that make problems worse. He pays close attention to what each person thinks and feels rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. In sessions he works together with clients to name goals and break them into small steps.
He helps people spot unhelpful thinking and develop skills for handling mood, relationships, and daily pressures. Practical strategies and clearer thinking are common focuses. Dr.
Wiant uses a mix of approaches to match the person and the problem. He often draws on client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s view, cognitive behavioral techniques to change thinking patterns, and mindfulness to build present-moment awareness. He also includes hypnotherapy when it fits the person’s goals.
People come to him for many concerns, such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family strain, parenting challenges, and ADHD. He aims to guide each person toward concrete steps that feel achievable and useful.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, giving space for the client to describe what matters and helping the therapist and client agree on goals. This approach is useful for people who want their own perspective to guide the work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practiceable skills.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes noticing the present moment without judgment. It can help reduce reactivity, manage stress, and improve emotional regulation by training attention and awareness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That shared decision-making guides ongoing care.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for a fuller face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
