About Natasha
Natasha Kinto is a licensed mental health professional practicing in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She holds LCPC and LCMHC credentials and brings a background in addictions work and culturally informed care to her practice.
Background and approach
Her training included a graduate degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, and early work focused on both individual and group therapy settings, including a fellowship that supported addiction study and services for underserved communities. Her approach blends practical, change-focused methods with a person-centered ethos.
Natasha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthen motivation for change, and set achievable goals. She uses trauma-informed perspectives and a holistic biopsychosocial-spiritual lens to consider life context and wellness goals.
Naturally collaborative, she aims to equip people with concrete tools for navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship concerns, career transitions, and a wide range of life challenges. Natasha frames therapy as a partnership that supports meaningful shifts in thinking and behavior while honoring each client’s cultural background and personal values.
How Natasha’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured strategies and practical exercises, which can be carried out effectively in talk-based online formats for concerns like anxiety, depression, and addiction. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and enhancing commitment, and it adapts well to conversation-driven video or phone sessions where reflective dialogue is central.
Natasha approaches choice of method collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right approach is part of therapy. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then integrates techniques such as CBT or Motivational Interviewing alongside person-centered and solution-focused elements to create a tailored plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, letting clients fit sessions into busy schedules and choose modes that feel most comfortable. These options make it possible to continue regular work on coping skills, relapse prevention, grief processing, and life transitions without frequent travel, while maintaining an ongoing therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
