About Celita
Celita Hastie is a clinical social worker licensed in South Carolina with 18 years of experience. She introduces herself plainly and invites people to begin a therapy journey focused on practical steps. Her style is relaxed but intentional, and she aims to build a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
Most of her work has been with teenagers through adults in individual and small group settings.
Background and approach
She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through trauma and abuse, and build self-esteem and confidence. Parenting concerns are also a focus, along with compassion fatigue and women's issues. Celita emphasizes sessions that balance goal-oriented work with emotional release.
She uses Motivational Interviewing and Solutions-Focused approaches to create clear action plans when clients want practical steps. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and where changes can help. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative.
She listens first, then helps set achievable goals and small steps. When needed, sessions can simply be a space to ventilate and name emotions. People who prefer a mix of talking and concrete tools may find this approach useful.
The focus is on making progress that fits each person’s life, one step at a time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Celita uses a few evidence-based techniques in plain terms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and helps people change unhelpful thought patterns to influence mood and actions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the person, helping them find personal reasons and small steps to make change. Solutions-Focused work centers on setting clear, practical goals and planning simple actions to move toward those goals.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try methods that match your goals and preferences. If one way doesn’t fit, adjustments are made together until a better fit is found.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you talk face-to-face and use visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when less bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or use brief, focused communication when scheduling or timing is tight. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
