Annastacia Hardin , LCSW

Annastacia Hardin is a licensed clinical social worker with three years of experience helping people through hard transitions. She provides calm, straightforward support for those facing grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship or family stress. Annastacia speaks English and Samoan and works with people in North Carolina.

She focuses on helping people cope with life changes and rebuilding after loss or difficult events. Sessions often address trauma and abuse, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges like infertility, divorce, or blended family dynamics. Annastacia also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and substance use concerns.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them. From there she offers practical steps and strategies people can try between sessions.

Annastacia uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. That can include mindfulness skills to manage stress, cognitive strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts, or motivational interviewing to strengthen change. She works at a pace chosen by the client.

People can expect simple goals and clear options in therapy. Sessions may cover communication skills, grounding and coping tools, and ways to reduce overwhelm day to day. Annastacia aims to create a steady space to process difficult feelings and try new ways of coping.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is arranged through an online matching process.

Approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clear about personal values and take small committed steps toward them even when emotions feel heavy. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thought patterns and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and goals, which can be especially helpful when processing grief or trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the plan fits the person's life and progress.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for a face-to-face feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage appointments from different locations within North Carolina, and keep momentum between sessions.
