About Laura
Laura Hazard is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor based in Arizona with six years in counseling and additional prior experience as a behaviorist. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship shifts, grief, anger, sleep problems, addictions, career challenges, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.
Laura uses clear, practical conversation and goal-focused work. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to increase awareness of thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered listening, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to help people clarify what matters to them and plan next steps.
Sessions tend to break big problems into smaller, manageable parts. That might mean identifying a few changeable habits, testing one new behavior for a week, or telling an experience differently so it feels less stuck. Laura aims to help people notice strengths and use them more often in daily life.
Her background includes work with people during major life changes, mental health crisis points, compassion fatigue, unhealthy relationship patterns, personality-related issues, and caregiving stress. That experience informs practical strategies for coping when pressure builds and resentment or anger starts to show up.
People who want straightforward, task-oriented support around feelings, boundaries, and problem solving may find her approach useful. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Arizona, with process focused on immediate steps that fit into everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard while they sort out values, boundaries, and relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It gives concrete experiments to try between sessions, useful for anger, anxiety, and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That means trying an idea, reviewing how it went, and adjusting the plan together until it fits.
