About Mindi
Mindi Koczot is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who blends practical therapy with a focus on meaning and purpose. She draws on existential ideas about living with purpose and combines them with evidence-based methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, and other life challenges.
Sessions are conversational and grounded, aimed at helping people notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping. Mindi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood.
Background and approach
She also brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance. These methods are used in straightforward ways so clients can practice them between sessions. Her approach includes mindfulness tools such as breathing exercises, meditation, and positive affirmations to ease nervousness and improve sleep.
She also integrates somatic techniques and Emotional Freedom Technique when helpful to address how the body holds stress and trauma. Mindi frames therapy around each person’s sense of purpose, helping them set goals that feel meaningful. She encourages a safe, accepting space where people can be themselves and try new strategies without judgment.
With seven years of experience and a North Carolina LCMHC license, she works with a broad range of concerns including mood, trauma, relationship patterns, parenting-related stress, and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through several online formats to fit different needs.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and patterns; online sessions use conversations to explore those patterns and improve communication and emotional closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and low mood in place by teaching simple, practical skills to test and change unhelpful beliefs.Mindi treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made along the way so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, practice skills between meetings, and stay connected when in-person care is not an option. Licensed professionals can use these options to support ongoing skill building and conversations about meaning, coping, and day-to-day challenges.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
