Natasha Kinto

Natasha Kinto is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and questions about life purpose. Natasha also supports those facing career doubts, parenting strain, and midlife transitions.

She trained in clinical mental health counseling and has worked in individual and group settings. Her background includes focused study on addictions and providing culturally aware counseling for underserved communities. Natasha draws on her experience with young adults and adults when shaping sessions.

Her approach centers on the client and uses practical techniques that address thoughts, motivation, and behavior. She commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to help people identify patterns that keep them stuck. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels difficult or when substance use is a concern.

Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and conversational. Natasha uses Solution-Focused methods to identify small, workable steps a person can try between meetings. She also includes mindfulness practices to slow down intense thinking and manage anxiety.

People who come to her often want clear options and short-term strategies as well as time to talk about deeper issues. She helps sort immediate problems like sleep, cravings, or parenting stress while also addressing longer standing patterns such as codependency, shame, or difficulties after trauma.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Natasha draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers; it helps when someone needs time to sort feelings and priorities. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on a person's readiness to change and can support work around addiction or lifestyle shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Natasha will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before recommending methods to try. That plan can shift as sessions continue so the person and therapist find what fits best.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use methods like CBT worksheets, brief mindfulness exercises, and motivational conversations without needing extra commute time. Ask about session length and format when you complete the matching questionnaire to ensure it fits your routine.
