About Laura

Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by life changes, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Laura emphasizes a calm, approachable manner so clients can talk honestly about hard moments.

She draws on six years as an LPC plus earlier work as a behaviorist to keep things practical. Sessions often focus on breaking large problems into smaller, manageable steps. Laura uses cognitive approaches to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Her work addresses many common struggles, including grief, stress, addiction concerns, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She also supports people navigating personality-related challenges and complex family dynamics. Her background includes helping people through major life transitions and crises.

In sessions Laura aims to identify strengths and build on them. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what feels useful in daily life. She helps people try techniques and notice what changes.

Clients who want to begin are invited to use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with her. The next steps include a short questionnaire and arranging a session time that fits each person’s schedule.

How Laura's Approaches Fit Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings together. It uses simple experiments and small steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and relationship reactions.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing present-moment experience and building steady attention. Small mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity and help with stress, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals and comfort level. Sessions evolve based on what proves useful and what the client prefers.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments. The therapist will work with clients to plan a schedule that fits their daily life.
