About Laura

Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who focuses on helping people navigate overwhelming life changes. She frames challenges in small, manageable steps so clients can make steady progress toward clearer goals. Laura emphasizes a warm, approachable atmosphere where people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and self esteem concerns.

She draws on six years as an LPC and earlier experience as a behaviorist to shape practical, down-to-earth work. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to increase self-awareness and spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions aim to identify strengths and build habits that fit each person’s life.

Laura has worked with people facing major transitions and crisis moments, plus struggles such as compassion fatigue, addiction, depression, bipolar symptoms, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses concerns around intimacy, communication problems, caregiver stress, and career challenges. Her background includes helping people reorganize their day-to-day when sleep, anger, or motivation are getting in the way.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with goal-focused methods like solution-focused and motivational interviewing. Narrative therapy is used when reframing life stories helps reduce shame or emptiness. The result is a collaborative process that balances empathy with practical steps.

People who want straightforward, steady support for the messy parts of life may find her approach helpful. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, creating space to talk through what feels overwhelming and to name priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses simple exercises to spot patterns in thinking and behavior and to test small changes, which can be done through discussion and short between-session tasks. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and teaches skills to manage anxiety, stress, and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether the focus is on skill-building, story work, motivation, or a mix of methods, and the plan can change as needs shift.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling to appointments, and allow check-ins from different locations when life gets hectic. It also supports swapping homework, using short between-session tasks, and keeping momentum while working through stressful transitions.
