About Annastacia

Annastacia Hardin is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in North Carolina with three years of professional experience. She sees people who are dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, and addiction. She also addresses practical life issues such as career strain, stress, and coping with major changes.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions aim to make sense of hard experiences and reduce unhelpful patterns. She listens for what matters most and helps people try new ways of responding to stress and conflict.

Annastacia uses several practical approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods to notice and change thought and behavior patterns, and client-centered work that keeps the person’s priorities at the core of sessions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people relate differently to strong feelings like anger and grief.

In sessions she may use motivational interviewing when a person is weighing change, for example around substance use or habits that cause tension. That makes conversations about goals and willingness to change more concrete and manageable.

She offers therapy in English and Samoan and works with adults on a range of concerns from chronic stress to family problems. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect a person with available options so they can schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger that keeps getting in the way of relationships or daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different behaviors to reduce stress and reactivity. It is practical for worry, low mood, and patterns that feed anger.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Together you can test what helps, adjust the work, and pick methods that fit how you want to handle anger and related problems.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let conversations continue between major life events. If you want to work on anger, these practical benefits can make it simpler to practice new responses in real life and keep momentum between sessions.
