About Natasha

Natasha Kinto is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in North Carolina. She uses straightforward, practical techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and life changes. Her approach is calm and person-centered, focused on what each person wants to change.

She trained at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, completing a Master of Arts in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017.

Background and approach

She also received a fellowship to study addictions and to learn how to offer culturally aware care for underserved groups. Natasha brings seven years of professional experience to her work. In sessions she draws on client-centered methods and evidence-based tools.

This includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s reasons for change. She also uses mindfulness to help people manage stress in the moment. Natasha pays attention to trauma and its effects and adapts her methods when past hurt affects current life.

She often focuses on practical steps and small goals, rather than long, abstract plans. Her style is direct but compassionate, helping people build skills they can use between sessions. Clients who come to her often want support with parenting concerns, relationship or intimacy issues, grief, career transitions, ADHD, substance problems, or identity and discrimination-related stress.

She helps people create clearer choices and steady routines that fit real life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to what a person cares about most. It helps with motivation and self-understanding by letting clients set the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems because it breaks issues into clear steps. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Natasha will collaborate with each person to pick and adapt methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions and live chat offer more flexibility for shorter check-ins. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people get consistent care while balancing work, parenting, and other commitments.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
