About Arthur
Arthur Hastings is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 46 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting strains, and concerns related to identity and self-esteem. He also offers support for career issues, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Arthur began his work at a VA hospital psychiatric unit as a young adult and then spent four decades at a local mental health center.
Background and approach
He retired from that role in 2018 and has continued in independent practice since then. His long career includes many hours working directly with people in crisis and with ongoing emotional challenges. In sessions he uses practical, talk-based methods that focus on what someone is trying to change now.
He draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and emotionally-focused methods to help with relationship and intimacy problems. Arthur usually keeps things straightforward and calm. He listens first, then helps set small, manageable goals.
He often combines exploring past influences with hands-on strategies to reduce anxious or angry reactions and improve relationships. He offers therapy by video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, anger, and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behavior, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and help with anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build more supported ways of relating, which is useful for intimacy and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Arthur will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. He often blends approaches so sessions remain practical and focused on real-life changes rather than on technical labels.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let the therapist see nonverbal cues and support deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide brief, focused support between sessions or for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
