About Kris
Kris Fant is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people change behaviors that get in the way of daily life. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. People often reach out for help with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, addiction concerns, anger, and mood changes.
Kris uses practical strategies to help with sleep, persistent pain, substance concerns, exercise, and relaxation. She combines talk and action so clients can try new patterns between sessions.
Background and approach
Her approach aims to identify small, doable changes that add up over time. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Gonzaga University and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. Before becoming a counselor she taught, led groups, and worked in crisis stabilization and domestic violence advocacy.
Those roles shaped how she listens and responds when someone is in distress. In sessions she draws on psychodynamic, attachment, Rogerian, and behavioral ideas to build an individualized plan. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Kris focuses on identifying strengths and using them to support better sleep, healthier routines, and improved coping. People who are unsure where to begin can expect a calm, warm style that emphasizes practical steps. Conversations cover current difficulties, goals, and what a helpful next step would look like.
Over time the aim is clearer direction and sustainable changes that support health, relationships, and work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Evidence-based behavioral techniques focus on changing routines and habits that affect mood and functioning. These methods break problems into specific behaviors to practice differently, which can help with sleep, stress, substance concerns, and anger by teaching new responses and calming strategies.Psychodynamic and attachment-informed approaches look at patterns in relationships and past experiences that shape current reactions. These approaches help people notice where old patterns repeat and try new ways of relating and responding when stress or strong emotions arise.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust them over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and deeper work. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step planning, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, and other life demands.
