About Arthur

Arthur Hastings helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy struggles. He also supports clients dealing with parenting strain, LGBT issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and neurodivergent challenges. Arthur is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with decades of experience.

He began his work at a VA hospital psychiatric unit at 18 and later spent four decades at a local community mental health center.

Background and approach

He retired from that long-term post in 2018 and has continued in independent practice since then. Over 46 years in the field have shaped a calm, steady approach to therapy. Arthur blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care and evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.

In sessions he focuses on building trust, listening carefully, and helping people notice thoughts and feelings that get in the way. He aims for clear, practical steps rather than jargon. When trauma or grief are present he takes a slow, respectful pace and prioritizes emotional safety.

For anxiety and mood concerns he uses behavioral strategies and values-based goal work to reduce avoidance and rebuild daily functioning. He is comfortable addressing issues related to identity, abandonment, caregiving stress, and chronic illness. Telehealth has been part of his work since the pandemic, offered alongside office practice.

Arthur approaches each person as an individual and collaborates on a plan that fits their current life and goals.

Online support

Attachment-informed and ACT approaches via online therapy

Arthur integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online sessions. Attachment-informed work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer emotional connections and clearer expectations in relationships. ACT helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward what matters most.

He treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, strengths, and preferences together and adjust methods over time. That means sessions can shift from exploring attachment patterns to practicing ACT skills or using cognitive techniques as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and messaging support shorter updates, reflections between sessions, or people who prefer typed communication. These options help fit therapy into real life and work with different needs and routines.
