Laura Hazard, LPC

Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by big life changes. She draws on six years as an LPC plus prior experience in behavior work to help clients take manageable steps forward. Her approach aims to make difficult problems feel less confusing and more solvable.

Hazard creates a calm, open space where people can talk honestly about stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and shifts in career or health. She uses cognitive behavior ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Sessions also draw on client-centered listening and mindfulness to help people stay grounded while they make changes.

Her background includes work with compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those managing caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and aging and geriatric issues. This range reflects experience helping people through major life transitions and crises.

In sessions she aims to break problems into small, clear pieces. That makes progress feel doable instead of overwhelming. She also uses narrative and motivational techniques to help people reconnect with their values and goals.

Laura listens without judgment and works with clients to find realistic next steps. Her practical focus is on small changes that build over time. If you want to explore life changes, coping skills, or relationship questions, she helps people move forward at a pace that fits them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and putting the client's goals first. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then tests small, practical changes to see what helps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and what feels most comfortable. Together they choose or combine methods that match those needs and adjust as progress unfolds.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between errands. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to continue care during major life transitions. Licensed professionals use these approaches to support practical problem solving, emotional regulation, and clearer decision making over time.
