About Frantica

Frantica Hardaway is a licensed clinical social worker who uses cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques to help people navigate emotional and practical challenges.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience, she focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, anger, addictions, low self-esteem, grief, relationship issues, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses aging and geriatric matters, hospice and end-of-life counseling, infidelity and jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural considerations, women’s issues, workplace difficulties, and young adult concerns.

She aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward realistic, measurable change. Hardaway emphasizes collaboration, helping people identify coping strategies, set practical goals, and cultivate motivation and confidence.

Licensed in New York and North Carolina, she draws on a mix of therapeutic tools to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, supporting clients as they take steps toward greater well-being and more satisfying daily functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Frantica Hardaway uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation concerns. She also employs client-centered therapy that prioritizes empathy and a supportive therapeutic relationship, helping people feel heard as they explore emotions and goals.

Determining the best approach is part of the collaborative process. She works together with clients to clarify needs, preferences, and practical goals, and then adapts techniques from CBT, client-centered work, or solution-focused strategies to fit the individual’s situation and priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow people to access therapy from home or work and to choose the communication style that suits their schedule and comfort level, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing daily responsibilities.
