About Frantica
Frantica Hardaway is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and issues with motivation or self-esteem. Frantica uses straightforward conversation and collaboration to identify what feels most difficult and what small steps could help.
She creates an open space where clients can talk without fear of judgment. Sessions aim to clarify immediate concerns and set doable goals.
Background and approach
Frantica listens for patterns that get in the way and helps clients try new ways of coping. Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she pays attention to each person's values and strengths, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and works toward practical solutions that fit daily life.
With seven years of professional experience and licensure in New York and North Carolina, she brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. Frantica also supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
People from diverse backgrounds often seek her out for help with workplace stress, young adult struggles, women's issues, aging and end-of-life concerns, and military or veteran-related matters. Her style is supportive and direct, aimed at helping people notice small changes that add up.
If someone prefers sessions by video, phone, chat, or messaging, she offers flexible formats to fit different needs and schedules. Frantica encourages practical steps and regular check-ins to track progress and adjust plans as needed.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding each person's experience. In practice this means the therapist focuses on your goals, values, and what matters most, helping you clarify choices and build on your strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and tracking small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or manage ADHD-related challenges.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is working now and on small, concrete steps toward change. It is useful when someone wants short-term, goal-directed support to manage stress, work issues, or improving daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then test methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and useful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging suits quick updates or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments while keeping focus on practical progress.
