About Annastacia
Annastacia Hardin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with three years of experience. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family problems, addiction concerns, and the impact of trauma or abuse. Sessions are conducted in English and Samoan where needed.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build steady routines to reduce stress.
Annastacia often focuses on common life pressures - parenting strain, caregiving stress, career disruption, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and separation or divorce. Conversations cover how current problems affect daily life and what steps feel doable.
Her work addresses practical problems like communication breakdowns, anger, guilt, and substance use. She helps people map small changes that can reduce conflict and improve mood. Sessions include goal-setting, skills practice, and moments to reflect on progress.
People who choose her typically want structured, goal-focused sessions with plain language and clear next steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Annastacia frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and set small behavioral experiments. CBT sessions typically involve naming thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety or depression.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters most and build actions around those values. ACT focuses on noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and committing to steps that reflect a person’s priorities.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what works and what feels manageable.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching step about which approach and session rhythm would fit daily life best.
