About Mindi
Mindi Koczot is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who draws on several practical therapy styles to help people move forward. She combines meaning-focused work with hands-on skills to manage stress, anxiety, and low mood. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making daily life easier for clients and their loved ones.
Mindi uses existential ideas to help people find a sense of purpose and direction. From there she pairs cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking.
How Mindi works
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Her sessions often include simple practices like breathing exercises, short meditations, and grounding techniques. Mindi also incorporates somatic strategies to help people notice how emotions show up in the body.
These tools are offered alongside talk therapy so clients can practice changes between sessions. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma and relationship issues. Additional focuses include body image, attachment and communication problems, life purpose, and coping with big life changes.
The goal is clearer thinking and stronger day-to-day functioning. Mindi has seven years of clinical experience and holds an LCMHC license in North Carolina. Sessions are offered in English by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to fit their needs.

Approaches that combine meaning and practical skills
Many sessions begin with attachment-based ideas that look at how relationships shape thinking and feeling. This approach helps people understand patterns in their connections and how those patterns affect trust, closeness, and communication.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, and mood shifts by teaching clear steps to change thinking and behavior.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are taught to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. These skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and try strategies that match their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work, phone calls can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth, and chat or text can support quick check-ins or skills practice. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and keep therapy consistent around daily life.
