About Annastacia

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people navigate a wide range of concerns including addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, stress, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, parenting and anger, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Annastacia also supports clients facing issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment worries, chronic illness or pain, divorce and separation, substance concerns, fertility and hospice matters, and ADHD-related struggles. Her style blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a warm, accepting stance that aims to meet people where they are.

Using approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, motivational interviewing, and client-centered care, she works collaboratively with clients to set achievable goals and build day-to-day coping skills. Sessions are offered in English and Samoan and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Approach and Online Care That Fit Your Life

Annastacia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more effective behaviors; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping skills. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values, accepting difficult internal experiences, and committing to meaningful action even when emotions are challenging. Client-centered principles guide her overall stance, emphasizing empathy, validation, and collaboration so clients feel heard and involved in planning their care.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to determine which methods and strategies best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as things evolve so treatment remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible options that fit varied schedules and circumstances. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and she also provides live chat and text-based messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to access regular care, maintain continuity during life transitions, and work on goals without the need to travel to an office.
