About Natasha

Natasha Kinto is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings seven years of experience and a focus on helping people who face stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and life changes. Natasha uses straightforward, practical guidance and aims to help clients find tools that fit their day-to-day lives.

She approaches therapy in a person-centered way. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on building motivation for change. Natasha draws from solution-focused ideas and Motivational Interviewing to help people set clear goals and take small, manageable steps toward them.

Natasha also uses cognitive strategies to look at thoughts that affect behavior, and she integrates mindfulness practices when helpful. Her work is informed by a trauma-aware stance and a biopsychosocial-spiritual view of wellness that considers mental, physical, social, and spiritual factors.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. She has experience with individual and group therapy and received a fellowship to study addictions and provide culturally aware services for underserved people.

People often seek her help for codependency, communication problems, grief, parenting strain, substance and process addictions, and issues around identity and discrimination. She aims to teach skills that help clients manage daily challenges and move toward a more balanced life.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Natasha often draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and helping them find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and behavior changes related to addiction or codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Natasha will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and reflection, cognitive skill-building, mindfulness practices, or brief solution-focused steps based on progress and feedback.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are offered before booking. Confirming session formats helps plan around work, school, or childcare. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy days, allows shorter check-ins when needed, or reduces travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they fit daily life and specific goals.
