Annastacia Hardin, LCSW

Annastacia Hardin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She has three years of experience helping people who face overwhelming life events. Her work often focuses on addictions, trauma, grief, and stress-related concerns. Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental. She aims to make people feel safe to bring what they are carrying into the room. Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on small, manageable steps rather than pressure to change immediately. Annastacia mixes conversational listening with evidence-informed approaches. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns, and she uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action. Mindfulness strategies and motivation-focused conversations are added when helpful. She has experience supporting people through relationship breakdowns, domestic violence, addiction, fertility and parenting concerns, and end-of-life issues. She also addresses stressors such as caregiving, chronic illness, and career strain. People who bring complex or overlapping problems often find her approach useful because it combines practical tools with compassionate support. Annastacia offers sessions in English and Samoan.

How Annastacia’s Approaches Fit Online

Annastacia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take small steps toward a life they care about. This approach is useful for issues like addiction, anxiety, and coping with major life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective habits. CBT can be practical for depression, stress, and managing cravings or avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work too, offering a listening, nonjudgmental space where people set the pace and direction of therapy.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new challenges appear.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since session options are not specified here. Many people choose online work because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they rely on conversation and homework rather than hands-on techniques. A licensed professional will help tailor the format and pace so therapy fits into everyday life.
