Kris Fant is a licensed counselor practicing in Oregon.
01About Kris
Kris Fant is a licensed counselor practicing in Oregon. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) credentials and brings eight years of clinical experience to the work. Kris aims to walk alongside people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship challenges.
Kris uses a straightforward, warm style in sessions. She focuses on health behaviors like sleep, pain management, exercise, relaxation, and substance use.
Background and approach
That focus helps clients make small, usable changes that support better mood, energy, and daily functioning. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Gonzaga University and a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University.
Before becoming a counselor she worked in teaching, group leadership, crisis stabilization, and domestic violence advocacy, which shaped her practical approach to helping people in distress. Kris blends psychodynamic, attachment, Rogerian, and behavioral ideas to shape individualized plans. She helps people notice strengths, understand patterns, and try new behaviors that fit their goals.
Sessions are focused on what the person wants to change and the next small steps they can take. People who are unsure where to begin are invited to map current challenges and set clear, achievable goals. Kris supports that process by helping prioritize concerns and building a plan that fits each person’s life and pace.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together
Kris draws from behavioral approaches to focus on concrete actions like improving sleep, managing pain, changing substance use patterns, and adding exercise or relaxation habits. Behavioral methods break down goals into small steps and track progress so clients can see what works for them.She also uses psychodynamic and attachment-informed ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and emotional responses. Those approaches help people understand where patterns come from and how earlier experiences affect present choices.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kris will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they set priorities and choose practical strategies to try between sessions.
Online therapy with Kris offers flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or situations with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging can work for brief support, homework check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule care around work, family, and daily life.
