About Annastacia
Annastacia Hardin is a licensed clinical social worker with three years of experience helping people navigate difficult life moments. She practices in North Carolina and offers sessions in English and Samoan. Her work focuses on everyday struggles like grief, anxiety, depression, and problems with relationships and parenting.
People come to her when they feel overwhelmed by loss, addiction, trauma, or major life changes. She also supports those coping with stress, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and career pressure.
Background and approach
Annastacia pays attention to how past attachment and family patterns shape current choices. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens without judgment and helps people set small, achievable goals.
Sessions aim to clarify what matters to each person and build practical steps toward those goals. Practically, Annastacia uses tools from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive approaches, and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take value-driven actions. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is working through substance use or behavior change.
Clients can expect a steady, collaborative process that mixes talking, short exercises, and real-world practice between meetings. She explains concepts in plain language and keeps the focus on what matters to the client now. Annastacia works with a range of life concerns including parenting stress, family conflict, trauma and abuse, fertility and end-of-life issues, and problems tied to adoption and foster care.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant for everyday life.
How Annastacia Uses Common Therapies Online
Annastacia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. ACT focuses on helping people name their values and take actions that match those values, even when hard thoughts or feelings are present. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build a trusting connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses small, practical exercises to shift those patterns and reduce distress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in early, adjusting techniques, and combining approaches when useful so the plan feels relevant and doable.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or for low-bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, journaling prompts, or when someone prefers written communication. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while adapting to their daily schedules.
