Natasha Kinto

Natasha Kinto is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings seven years of experience and a background in addictions work, with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Natasha aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people juggling real-life demands.

Her approach blends Mindfulness Therapy with client-centered listening. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her - their goals, values, and day-to-day challenges. She uses clear strategies to reduce stress and manage anxiety, and she helps people move through grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Naturally pragmatic, Natasha also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address addictive behaviors and motivation for change. That means working together to notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small, doable changes. She keeps language plain and focuses on steps people can take between sessions.

Her training and early work included fellowship-supported study in addictions and culturally informed care for underserved communities. That background informs how she talks about substance use, process addictions, and multicultural issues in therapy. Natasha aims to help clients build tools for balance rather than rely on jargon.

People seeking support for stress, depression, ADHD-related concerns, or career and parenting strain will find a collaborative, goal-minded clinician. She integrates a biopsychosocial-spiritual view of wellness and centers the person's own values in planning next steps.

How Natasha Uses Mindfulness, Client-Centered, and CBT Online

Natasha often combines Mindfulness Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways online. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes paying attention to the present moment and noticing thoughts without judgment, which can help with stress, anxiety, and cravings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's priorities so sessions reflect what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques as needed. Clients help set priorities and decide whether to focus on skills practice, thought work, or mindfulness exercises during sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and reduce travel time. It also lets therapists use guided mindfulness practices, thought records, and motivational conversations without needing everyone to be in the same room. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your routine.
