Kris Fant, LPC, LMHC

Kris Fant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience, practicing in Oregon. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, sleep problems, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, LGBT issues, career questions, and self-esteem struggles.

Kris earned a BA in Psychology from Gonzaga University and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. Early work included teaching, group leadership, crisis stabilization, and domestic violence advocacy. These roles shaped how she approaches practical problems and safety planning in everyday life.

Her background includes extensive work on health behaviors such as sleep, persistent pain, substance concerns, exercise, and relaxation. That experience shows up in sessions as concrete steps for daily living, not only conversation. She helps people notice patterns and try small behavior changes to see what shifts.

Therapy sessions draw from psychodynamic, attachment, Rogerian, and behavioral ideas. Kris uses those approaches to look at past experiences and current routines. She focuses on what a person already does well and builds on those strengths to address mood, relationships, and work concerns.

People who want to change but feel unsure where to start are invited to map their next steps. Kris works alongside clients to clarify goals and test practical strategies that fit their life.
