About Arthur
Arthur Hastings is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Indiana with 46 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting challenges. He also works with anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
He began his career at a VA hospital psychiatric unit when he was 18. After that he spent four decades at a community mental health center before moving into private practice. He retired from his long-term job in 2018 but continued seeing people individually in private practice.
Arthur often works with trauma cases and people who have anxiety disorders. He uses practical, talk-based methods to help people manage intense feelings and everyday strains. Sessions are focused on the problem at hand and on small steps people can try between meetings.
His style draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That mix is used to address relationship difficulty, parenting stress, loss, and longstanding family-of-origin issues.
He offers services in English and has provided telehealth sessions since the pandemic began. He notes that his practice operates under a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online booking route.
How sessions work
How Arthur integrates therapeutic approaches into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action in line with those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It can help people manage anxiety, stress, and the low mood that follows loss. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that began in early relationships and how those patterns show up now. It helps with relationship strain, attachment worries, and family-of-origin issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Arthur will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative process may include trying techniques from ACT, attachment-focused work, or cognitive and emotionally focused tools to see what fits best.
The biography indicates he has provided telehealth sessions since the pandemic, but specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. They also let people continue care from different locations within the same state. Ask about available session lengths and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
