About Annastacia
Annastacia Hardin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and works with people facing a range of difficult life events. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take manageable steps forward.
Her style is compassionate and nonjudgmental. She focuses on listening first, then helping clients name the issues that feel most urgent. Sessions are practical and conversational, with an emphasis on concrete tools rather than lengthy theory.
Annastacia uses several therapeutic approaches depending on the concern. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Client-Centered methods to keep the client’s perspective central. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing also inform her work when they fit a person’s goals.
She has experience addressing grief, addiction, parenting strains, relationship stress, trauma, and adoption and foster care matters among other concerns. That range means she often blends techniques to match what a person needs in the moment. Annastacia will work at a pace the client can handle and focus on practical steps between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and Samoan when helpful. People considering work with her should review the matching process and scheduling details before booking to confirm current session options and fit.
Therapeutic approaches and doing therapy online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer on what matters to them and take steps that match those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding to lower anxiety or improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and goals, offering empathy and support while decisions come from the client.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest options to try. That collaboration helps shape what techniques are used and how sessions are structured over time.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone attend without travel time. Some formats use video for face-to-face conversation, while others may rely on audio or messaging when that better suits a person's schedule or bandwidth. The therapist will review practical options during the matching and scheduling steps to find what fits everyday life.
