About Arthur
Arthur Hastings is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 46 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. He also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, and struggles related to identity and self-esteem.
Arthur began his career working in a VA Hospital psychiatric unit as a young adult. He then spent four decades at a local mental health center in Indiana before moving to independent practice after retirement in 2018.
Background and approach
That long history gives him experience with a wide range of problems and life stages. In sessions he focuses on clear, practical steps and straightforward conversation. He uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment work, and the Gottman Method when relationship issues arise.
Sessions look at current patterns, coping skills, and ways to strengthen important connections. People describe him as steady and goal-oriented in session. He often prioritizes tools that reduce immediate distress while also addressing deeper sources of pain, such as past trauma or attachment wounds.
He makes space for grief, anger, and difficult memories without rushing past them. Arthur offers remote options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. He works in English and practices from Indiana.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs.

Online support
Therapy Approaches and How They Fit Online
Arthur uses the Gottman Method to address relationship interactions and communication. That approach focuses on small, practical skills to reduce conflict and build stronger connections. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward them even when feelings are hard.He also incorporates attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional reactions. These approaches are used collaboratively - the therapist and client decide together what to try based on goals and what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make work on these approaches more accessible. Video is useful for conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter call is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between longer sessions. The variety allows scheduling around work, caregiving, and busy days so therapy can fit into real life.
