About Arthur

Arthur Hastings brings 46 years of clinical experience to his practice and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.

Background and approach

He began his career working in a VA Hospital psychiatric unit at 18 and then spent four decades at a local mental health center in Indiana before shifting into independent practice. That long tenure gave him sustained exposure to trauma work, grief counseling, and anxiety disorders, and he continues to prioritize those areas in his ongoing work.

Hastings is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and uses a range of evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. He integrates methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-focused work, and emotionally-focused interventions to address emotional pain, patterns in relationships, and coping skills.

He offers sessions via video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, and his schedule is arranged by therapist availability and subscription-based session plans. Prospective clients can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a brief matching questionnaire to schedule an initial appointment.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify personal values and take meaningful action while learning to distance themselves from painful thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to build concrete coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional needs, which can be valuable for relationship and intimacy concerns as well as trauma recovery.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to understand goals, preferences, and the problems they bring, then recommend and adapt methods that fit the person's situation and pace. Flexibility and ongoing adjustment help ensure the chosen strategies remain useful as work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for people juggling busy schedules or limited mobility by providing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Indiana or other locations without the need to travel, and the range of options supports different communication styles and moments of need.
