About Kriss

Dr. Kriss Wiant brings three decades of clinical experience to his work as a licensed psychologist in Ohio (OH Psychologist P.4840).

Background and approach

His professional path includes roles as a military veteran, a former high school teacher, and a psychologist in varied practice settings, which together inform a broad, pragmatic approach to emotional and interpersonal challenges. He emphasizes collaboration and careful listening as foundations for helping clients clarify concerns and move toward self-selected goals.

Wiant tailors interventions to each person’s needs, drawing on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices when appropriate. He focuses on practical skill development - for example, reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns, improving communication, and setting achievable steps that reduce distress and support functioning.

Areas of focus noted in his practice include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, parenting, anger, and ADHD, alongside a wider range of mood and personality concerns. Prospective clients are encouraged to use their early sessions to assess fit and to ask questions about the therapeutic process as they decide whether to continue together.

Approaches and Online Options for Practical Change

Dr. Wiant commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in his online practice. Client-centered therapy involves a focus on the client’s own perceptions and feelings, creating a collaborative setting where the person’s experience guides the work and helps clarify personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy targets current patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching strategies to challenge unhelpful beliefs and to develop skills that reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with clients to evaluate which methods match their concerns, goals, and preferences. Sessions often begin by exploring the presenting problems and then testing techniques that fit the individual, with adjustments over time as new information about progress and preferences emerges.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. These formats make it easier to schedule regular work, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt the therapeutic tools above to these remote formats so clients may pursue consistent, skill-focused work from varied locations.
