About Arthur
Arthur Hastings is an IN Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 46 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and LGBTQ concerns. He also works with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and fatherhood concerns, ADHD, and career-related stress.
He began clinical work at 18 in a VA hospital psychiatric unit in Indiana. He spent four decades at a local mental health center before retiring from that position in 2018 and continuing in private practice. Much of his experience involves trauma counseling and anxiety disorders. Over time he has added grief work, mood concerns, and support for LGBTQ people to his regular caseload.
His style is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, and on testing different responses. He uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-focused and emotion-focused approaches when useful.
He has provided telehealth services since the pandemic and continues to offer remote work from his home office as part of his private practice. Language of service is English and he practices in Indiana. The sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. That intake helps set practical goals and decide which approach will be most useful going forward.
How his approaches shape online sessions
Arthur Hastings uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT focuses on practical skills you can try between sessions to reduce worry and improve daily routines.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take action even with difficult feelings present. That approach is useful for ongoing stress, chronic anxiety, and people who want to build consistent habits rather than only reduce symptoms.
Attachment-Based Therapy is part of his work when relationship patterns and early bonds are central to a problem. It looks at how past connections influence current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating in present relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may combine elements of CBT, ACT, and attachment work over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography notes he has offered telehealth from his home and from his private practice office since the pandemic, but exact formats are not specified here. Confirm available online session options when you sign up so sessions fit your schedule and daily life.
