About Celita
Celita Hastie is a licensed independent social worker - clinical practice (LISW-CP) based in South Carolina with 18 years of experience. She has spent most of her career supporting teenagers through adults in individual and small group work. Her practice emphasizes practical steps to manage stress, anxiety, and the effects of trauma while helping clients build self-esteem and confidence.
She creates a relaxed but focused atmosphere. Sessions often balance goal-oriented work with space to name and release difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Celita uses clear plans to help people make changes and track progress over time. Her training includes Motivational Interviewing and Solutions-Focused Therapy, approaches that aim to identify goals and take small, achievable steps toward them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns that affect mood and behavior.
Celita has a particular interest in parenting and family-related concerns and addresses communication problems, body image, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue among other topics. She meets people where they are and works collaboratively to find practical next steps. People who prefer a direct but empathetic style may find her approach helpful.
She combines action-oriented techniques with time to process emotions, so sessions can feel both productive and supportive.
Therapeutic methods and how they work online
Celita commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want and build internal motivation for change; this method focuses on small, realistic steps and works well for goals like improving parenting responses or reducing anxious habits. She also uses Solutions-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on identifying practical next steps and building on what already works in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach for examining and shifting thought patterns that affect mood and behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try first and adjusts based on needs, goals, and personal preference. The plan is shaped together so clients feel actively involved in deciding what will help most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video and phone allow deeper conversation while chat and messaging can be useful for quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility for busy parents and people balancing multiple responsibilities, making it easier to keep therapy consistent.
