About Natasha
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 focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns such as coping with life changes and self-esteem. Natasha also lists work around LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting, career questions, and ADHD among her areas of focus.
She trained at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, earning a Master of Arts in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017. Early in her career she received a fellowship to study addictions and to provide counseling for underserved communities. That experience shaped her ongoing interest in addiction work and multicultural issues.
Naturally direct and practical, she uses approaches that emphasize clear goals and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going, and on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. Solution-Focused techniques help keep sessions focused on concrete steps forward.
Her style is person-centered, which means she listens for what matters most to each person and adjusts the pace to fit that. She also uses mindfulness-based methods to teach simple skills for managing stress and grounding after difficult experiences.
Natasha’s background includes individual and group work with college students, young adults, adults, and elders. People who want practical, structured strategies for coping, behavior change, or recovery may find her approach useful. Sessions are offered in English in North Carolina.
Using CBT, motivational work, and mindfulness online
Natasha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test thoughts that lead to unhelpful feelings and behaviors. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting between meetings.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are unsure about change. That approach focuses on clarifying personal reasons to change and strengthening motivation in small steps. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach attention and breathing skills that reduce stress and improve focus during hard moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Natasha will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, motivational techniques, mindfulness, or a mix fits best based on goals and preferences. She adjusts methods as progress is made and as new priorities emerge.
