About Celita
Celita Hastie is a licensed independent social worker with 18 years of clinical experience in South Carolina. She guides people through common stresses of life, including anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more confident.
Over her career she has offered individual and small group work, helping clients handle everyday pressures and relationship difficulties. She focuses on stress management, improving self-esteem, and addressing trauma and post-traumatic stress symptoms.
How Celita works
She also supports people struggling with body image, mood problems, communication challenges, and issues related to self-love and women’s concerns. Her style blends goal-focused work and space to share feelings. She uses Motivational Interviewing and Solutions-Focused Therapy to build action plans and move toward concrete steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of how she helps people connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to make meaningful changes. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She aims to create an open environment where people can speak without judgment and work toward clear goals.
Sometimes that looks like focused skill-building, and other times it looks like having room to process strong emotions. She recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage. Celita meets people where they are and helps them plan practical steps forward.

Online support options
Practical approaches and flexible online care
Celita uses evidence-based techniques to help people find relief and build skills. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify personal goals and strengthen motivation to change; it helps when someone is unsure about next steps. Solutions-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and practical strategies to move toward specific goals, which suits people who want action-oriented sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.Deciding which approach fits best is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their situation, goals, and preferences, then try techniques that match those needs. This collaborative process lets the plan shift over time as progress is made.
Online sessions make regular care easier to fit into life. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging allows ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while maintaining consistent therapeutic work.
