About Frantica
Frantica Hardaway is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and addiction. She brings seven years of experience and a calm, direct approach to sessions. Her goal is to help people find clearer thinking and steadier emotions so daily life feels more manageable.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they feel and start to make sense of it.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical strategies. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps work grounded in concrete steps and short-term goals. Frantica often supports people facing depression, low self-esteem, and motivation loss.
She also addresses career stress, grief, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, infidelity, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, women’s issues, workplace challenges, and young adult issues.
Sessions are offered in English and take place with the flexibility of online formats like video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Frantica holds LCSW licenses in New York and North Carolina and draws on practical techniques that people can use between sessions. She emphasizes collaboration and small, measurable steps.
People who want straightforward support for anger, coping, or everyday stress will find a focused, steady approach aimed at gradual progress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people name their feelings. Online sessions using this approach give space to talk through anger, grief, or stress while the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Over video or phone, CBT can include short exercises, homework tasks, and real-time problem solving for anger management and anxiety.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps that move people toward specific goals. In online work this often means setting one or two clear actions between sessions and checking progress through chat or brief calls.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match their needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. That teamwork guides which techniques are used and how sessions are structured.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face discussion and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text-based messaging is useful for ongoing reflection or quick problem solving. These options increase flexibility and help people maintain steady progress without traveling to appointments.
