My name is Celita Hastie and I am excited to work with you on this therapy journey. I am licensed in South Carolina with 18 years of professional work experience as a clinical social worker. Most of my career I have worked with teenagers through adults in individual and small group settings. I have experience in helping clients with the challenges of daily life with a focus on managing stress and anxiety, working through trauma and relationship difficulties, and improving self esteem and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I am generally a laid back person, but I do like to have focused sessions where we are working together on goals. I have training in Motivational Interviewing and Solutions-Focused Therapy, so I tend to be task oriented and focus on an action plan. However, I also know that sometimes sessions may just be a useful way to vent and let out emotions that are being bottled inside! I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore how our life experiences, our feelings, and our behaviors are connected and how we can change our thought patterns to take control over other aspects of our lives.
I understand that getting help takes courage and requires vulnerability and can be challenging. I will meet you where you are and help you find a better path forward.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
