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 focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a range of emotional and life challenges. She speaks English and Samoan and offers help through several online formats including video, phone, chat, and text.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens without judgment and meets people where they are.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a practical pace, with attention to what feels doable for the client right now. Annastacia uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy among other methods. She teaches skills to manage anxiety, stress, and symptoms of depression.
She also helps people facing grief, addiction concerns, parenting difficulties, and relationship or family strain. Therapy often blends short-term strategies and reflective conversation. That can mean learning new coping steps, trying a different way to notice thoughts, or practicing mindful skills between sessions.
She integrates motivational interviewing when people are weighing change. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. The process to begin includes completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.
Annastacia does not take international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Annastacia often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values, which can be useful for coping with life changes, anxiety, or grief. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms of depression and stress.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood as they work through family and parenting concerns. Together the therapist and client decide which methods make the most sense, adjusting techniques based on goals and comfort.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy family lives. For many, meeting remotely helps maintain continuity of care and try different ways of working while staying connected with a licensed professional.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
