About Mindi
Mindi Koczot is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of practice. She focuses on common life stresses including anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, and anger. She also supports people dealing with relationships, self-esteem, ADHD, and career-related pressure.
Her work draws on existential ideas about finding meaning and purpose. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to help notice and change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. These are used alongside trauma-informed strategies when past events affect current mood and behavior.
Mindi uses practical tools clients can try between sessions. Those include breathing exercises, meditation prompts, positive affirmations, and basic yoga-inspired movement. She also brings in Emotional Freedom Technique and somatic strategies to help people connect bodily sensations with feelings.
Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than abstract theory. Conversations often look at patterns in relationships, moments that spark anger or anxiety, and small behavior changes that reduce distress. The aim is to help people feel more in control of daily reactions and decisions.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Clients and Mindi work together to identify goals, test new ways of responding, and track what changes help in real life. This process is suited to people wanting practical skills for stress, mood, and relationship concerns.
How Mindi blends practical approaches for online sessions

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they try tools, see what helps, and adjust the plan over time so sessions fit the person's needs.
