About Dr. Kriss Wiant

Dr. Kriss Wiant brings three decades of clinical experience to his work, combining roles as a military veteran, a former high school teacher, and a psychologist who has practiced in a variety of settings. He approaches each person as an individual and emphasizes finding a therapeutic match that fits the client’s needs and style. Early meetings are designed to help prospective clients sense whether a productive working relationship is likely, and he encourages questions and open conversation about the course of care.

Wiant’s practice centers on attentive, steady listening to a client’s perceptions, beliefs, and feelings, paired with a collaborative process that clarifies the sources of difficulty and the client’s own resources for change. Together with the client he identifies realistic goals, breaks those goals into achievable steps, and outlines specific strategies to support measurable progress. He pays particular attention to current patterns of thinking and to inaccurate beliefs about oneself and others that can underlie mood problems, relationship strain, or workplace difficulties.

Skill building is a regular part of his work, with a focus on reducing barriers to progress through more rational thinking habits and targeted interpersonal or communication strategies. He is a licensed psychologist in Ohio - OH Psychologist P.4840 - and draws on a broad base of experience to help people move from discouragement toward clearer, self-directed goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Dr. Kriss Wiant commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment in which the client’s own goals and perspectives guide the process - it helps people build self-understanding and confidence to make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and habits that contribute to anxiety, depression, or relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. The therapist and client work together to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, then tailor techniques and pacing to what fits best for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Clients may meet by video calls, take sessions by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging to stay connected between sessions. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain steady progress when in-person meetings are difficult.
