About Laura
Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with six years of counseling experience. She focuses on everyday pressures like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, family problems, trauma and abuse, sleeping issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression.
Laura draws on straightforward cognitive-behavior ideas to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She breaks big problems into smaller, manageable parts so clients can take concrete steps forward. Sessions aim to clarify what is most pressing and what can change first.
Her practical approach also pulls from client-centered work and mindfulness techniques. That means listening for what matters to each person, then trying small experiments to see what helps. Narrative therapy and motivational interviewing are used when shifting how someone understands their story or builds motivation for change.
Laura’s background includes supporting people through major life transitions and compassion fatigue. She has experience with a range of difficulties, including personality and relationship challenges, crisis-level stress, and substance issues. This helps her adapt interventions to real-life situations.
In sessions she focuses on doable strategies, steady pacing, and building on strengths. People often leave with specific tools to manage anger, reduce overwhelm, and handle day-to-day stress more effectively.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to the client, helping them notice their own goals and resources. This approach is useful for relationship stress, grief, and feeling overwhelmed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and depression because it breaks problems into steps and offers exercises to try between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple paying-attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques often pair well with CBT when frustration and anger flare up.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which approaches to try first, based on current goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels manageable. Plans are adjusted as progress and needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice new skills in the settings where everyday triggers happen.
