Celita Hastie

Celita Hastie is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience based in South Carolina. She has worked with teenagers through adults in both individual and small group settings. She focuses on everyday challenges like managing stress and anxiety, working through trauma, and building self-esteem and confidence.

Clients can expect a calm and direct approach. Celita prefers focused sessions with clear goals and practical steps. She also makes space for times when talking through feelings is what’s needed most.

Her practice emphasizes action-oriented methods such as Motivational Interviewing and Solutions-Focused Therapy. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and to try different ways of thinking and acting.

Celita pays special attention to concerns often faced by women, including body image, self-love, and the stresses that come from caregiving and work. She also addresses communication struggles, mood issues, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress.

She believes starting therapy takes courage and that progress comes from working together. Celita meets people where they are and helps them build practical plans to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative technique that helps people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation. It uses open questions and reflective listening to turn values and goals into practical next steps. Solutions-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what works now and small changes that move a person toward their goals, often producing quick, concrete action items.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to improve mood and coping with stress or trauma.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will adapt methods as needed. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when helpful, and letting people schedule appointments that match their day. Licensed professionals can use a mix of approaches to help with stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, and women's issues while keeping the work practical and goal focused.
