About Arthur
Arthur Hastings is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 46 years of experience. He focuses on men’s wellbeing alongside a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and LGBT issues. He is straightforward and committed to helping people who are struggling find steadier ground.
He began his work at a VA hospital psychiatric unit at 18 and then spent four decades at a local mental health center before retiring from that role in 2018. Since then he has continued in private practice and maintained a steady clinical presence. His long tenure means he has seen many kinds of distress and common patterns that repeat across different lives.
In sessions he tends to be direct and practical. He often focuses on trauma work and anxiety disorders, and he describes grief counseling and LGBT concerns as core interests. He aims to help people reduce overwhelming feelings and build reliable daily habits that support clearer thinking and steadier moods.
Arthur uses several well-known therapy approaches to guide his work, choosing methods that fit each person’s needs. He will talk through what feels most useful and adapt techniques over time. His goal is to help people make manageable changes that improve their day-to-day life.
He provides therapy in English and has experience delivering remote services since the pandemic. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to his availability.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck after loss. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships and can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Arthur collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in and adjusts the approach over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Arthur has offered telehealth services since the pandemic and continues to provide remote work alongside private practice.
