Celita Hastie

Celita Hastie is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with 18 years of clinical social work experience in South Carolina. She has spent much of her career supporting teenagers through adults in one-on-one and small group settings. Her work focuses on everyday stresses, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and building self-esteem and confidence.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they are feeling. Sessions are collaborative and goal focused, but there is room when a person simply needs to talk through strong emotions. Celita describes her style as laid back while keeping sessions directed toward progress.

Her approach uses Motivational Interviewing and Solutions-Focused Therapy, which tend to be task oriented and emphasize practical steps and action plans. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to try different ways of thinking when old patterns are getting in the way.

Celita often helps with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, body image, communication problems, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and women's issues. She encourages people to take the first step even when it feels difficult and works at the pace each person needs.

People who prefer clear goals and practical strategies alongside space to process emotions may find this approach helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling to make sure they match personal needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Celita uses Motivational Interviewing and Solutions-Focused Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build readiness for taking steps forward. Solutions-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical, short-term strategies and small, achievable goals to move someone toward what they want to change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to try different ways of thinking when unhelpful patterns appear. These approaches suit concerns like anxiety, mood struggles, body image issues, and coping after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. From there she helps shape a plan that mixes practical steps with space to process emotions.
