About Arthur
Arthur Hastings is a licensed mental health counselor with 46 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and anger. He focuses on practical steps to ease symptoms and restore daily functioning.
He began his career working at a VA hospital psychiatric unit at 18 and then spent four decades at a local mental health center in Indiana.
Background and approach
After retiring from that role in 2018 he continued in independent practice and shifted to offering remote sessions as well as in-office meetings. His long career means he has worked with many kinds of life crises and long-term struggles. Arthur blends Jungian concepts with cognitive and behavior-focused techniques when they fit the person's needs.
He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches to help clients notice patterns and make purposeful changes. Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify what matters to the client now. In a typical session he listens first, then helps a person identify small, doable steps.
He helps people sort through grief, work through trauma memories, manage anxiety, or rebuild towards better relationships. He emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. Arthur offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging for people in Indiana.
He works in English and uses a subscription model for scheduling and payments. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits.

Online support
How approach and format meet online therapy
Arthur combines Jungian ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. Jungian concepts encourage looking at recurring life themes and symbols to understand current struggles, which can help with grief, identity, and long-standing patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which is useful for anxiety and stress. Attachment-Based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, helping with intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He talks with each person about their history, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let conversations feel close to in-person sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit brief work into a busy day. These options can help people maintain steady contact and practice new skills in real time.
