About Kris

LPC, LMHC in Oregon with eight years of clinical practice, Kris Fant focuses on stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and health behavior change. She helps people who are dealing with trauma, relationship strain, addictions, sleep problems, grief, and career stress. Sessions are provided in English and based on evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Kris completed a BA in Psychology at Gonzaga University and a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. Her early work included teaching, group leadership, crisis stabilization, and domestic violence advocacy. Over eight years as a mental health counselor she has supported people through traumatic events and major life transitions.

Health behaviors are a central focus of her practice. She helps people change habits around sleep, persistent pain, substance use, exercise, and relaxation. That work combines behavioral strategies with attention to relationships and life history.

Her approach draws on psychodynamic, attachment, Rogerian, and behavioral ideas. In practice that means conversations about life patterns, the role of close relationships, and practical steps to adjust daily routines. Sessions involve noticing strengths and trying concrete changes between meetings.

Kris works with people across a range of concerns including bipolar mood patterns, anger, self-esteem, and LGBT-related stress. People who choose her can expect focused, practical work on emotions, behavior, and relationships. To schedule, use the site controls to complete the matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Evidence-based behavioral techniques focus on changing specific daily routines and habits. These techniques are used to address sleep problems, persistent pain, substance use, and relaxation by setting small goals, tracking progress, and practicing new behaviors between sessions.

Psychodynamic and attachment-informed work looks at how past relationships and recurring patterns influence current reactions. This work helps clarify why certain emotions or behaviors show up and opens options for new ways of responding in relationships and stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and adjust methods over time based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time for appointments.
