About Natasha
Natasha Kinto is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She completed a Master of Arts in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke and has worked in individual and group therapy settings. Her work covers stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and life changes, among other concerns.
Kinto also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and young adult struggles, career questions, ADHD, and life purpose concerns. She has experience supporting people facing codependency, communication problems, process addictions, and substance issues. Her background includes a fellowship focused on addictions and culturally informed work with underserved communities.
Her clinical approach draws on Client-Centered ideas alongside solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing. Natasha uses techniques that look at a person’s motivation to change and how thoughts influence behavior. She also incorporates mindfulness and cognitive strategies when helpful.
Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and brief goal work while also addressing past trauma when it affects current functioning. She aims to give clients tools they can use between sessions to manage symptoms and make decisions about next steps in work, relationships, or health.
People who feel stuck after a life change or who want focused, goal-oriented support may find her style matches their needs. Natasha has worked with adults across the lifespan and includes attention to cultural context in her practice.
How Natasha’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It emphasizes reflecting what matters to the client and helping them identify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy adds attention practices to help with stress, anxiety, and emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Natasha will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to use. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and refining the plan over several sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she offers appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets therapists use worksheets, thought records, and guided mindfulness exercises during sessions to support goal-focused change without promising specific outcomes.
