About Laura
Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage overwhelming life changes. She draws on six years as an LPC and prior experience in behavior work to break big problems into small, doable steps. Her approach aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical for daily life.
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and building skills that fit each person’s life. She also brings mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people stay present and see their stories from new angles.
Laura has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and the stress that comes with major transitions. She has experience supporting those dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction concerns, sleep disruption, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Codependency and family-related stress are also areas she addresses.
Her style is open and down-to-earth. She aims to create a receptive space where clients can talk honestly and try practical steps between sessions. Sessions often involve small experiments, goal-setting, and reflection on what works.
Laura practices in Arizona and provides therapy in English. She encourages people to take manageable steps toward change and to shape therapy around their goals and daily demands.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and guides the conversation toward the goals they name. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to create small, testable changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and narrative work so the plan matches real life.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce time spent commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief touchpoint is useful. It can also help people use guided exercises and mindfulness between sessions to build momentum toward their goals.
