Natasha Kinto

Natasha Kinto is a licensed clinician who brings seven years of professional experience to her work. She holds LCPC and LCMHC credentials and completed a Master of Arts in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke in 2017. Natasha aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and life transitions in straightforward, practical ways.

She uses a person-centered stance that starts with listening. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, achievable steps. Natasha draws on Motivational Interviewing to tap into a person’s own motivation and on solution-focused ideas to build concrete next steps.

Her approach also includes attention to thoughts and behavior using cognitive techniques, and she brings a trauma-informed perspective when past harm affects daily functioning. She emphasizes a whole-person view that considers social, biological, and spiritual influences on wellbeing.

Natasha has worked with college students, young adults, adults, and elders, and she has a background studying addictions and providing culturally informed services to underserved communities. She speaks English and practices in North Carolina.

Clients who choose Natasha can expect clear goal setting, focused sessions, and practical tools to use between meetings. Her aim is to help people regain balance, cope with life changes, and build skills that fit their everyday routines.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Natasha uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize what the person brings to the session and to create a supportive space for setting goals. This approach helps when someone needs a listening, nonjudgmental process to clarify what matters most.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and offers practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood, and some types of addictive behavior by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Natasha will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying different methods or blending approaches until a good fit emerges.

Confirm the specific online session options available before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins on difficult days. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and motivational work to an online setting so people can practice changes between meetings.
