About Natasha

Natasha Kinto is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings seven years of experience and a background in addictions and culturally informed care. Natasha approaches therapy with a practical, person-centered mindset and a focus on helping people regain balance in daily life.

She uses clear, goal-oriented methods that emphasize what can change now. Sessions often include steps to address stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. Natasha also supports people coping with life transitions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns like codependency or career stress.

Her work blends Client-Centered Therapy with solution-focused tools and cognitive strategies. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s readiness for change, and on mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm. Natasha pays attention to cultural context and how identity affects wellbeing.

People meet a therapist who listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. Practical exercises and short-term plans are common in sessions. Natasha also offers guidance for smoking or vaping cessation, process addictions, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster-related stressors.

Her training includes a Master of Arts in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Natasha’s approach aims to give straightforward tools and ongoing support so people can manage symptoms and move toward meaningful change.

How her approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a warm, nonjudgmental space so people can speak openly about their concerns and goals. This approach helps with depression, relationship strain, and building self-esteem by centering the person's own perspective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and addictive behaviors because it gives specific skills to change patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and can adjust strategies as progress is made.

Many people find online therapy fits into busy schedules and everyday life. It can make it easier to keep regular sessions, fit a brief check-in into a work break, or avoid travel time. Because the therapist's session formats are not specified here, please confirm current session options before booking to make sure they match your practical needs.
