About Laura

Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches to help clients manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and other life disruptions.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that breaks overwhelming problems into manageable steps, helping people build awareness of thoughts and behaviors and apply practical strategies to improve daily functioning.

With six years as an LPC and earlier experience working as a behaviorist, she blends evidence-informed techniques like mindfulness and motivational interviewing with client-centered listening to identify strengths and practical solutions.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar presentations, addiction, compassion fatigue, and career or family stress. Laura aims to create an open, approachable environment where clients can explore changes and setbacks without judgment.

She offers multiple online formats so people can engage in therapy in ways that fit their schedules, and she helps shape a treatment plan that responds to each person’s goals and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Laura frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress. This approach emphasizes examining thoughts and behaviors to create measurable changes in daily functioning.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to support emotional awareness and acceptance. Client-centered work focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration to help people clarify goals, while mindfulness techniques teach present-moment awareness that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works together with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning lets the therapist adjust strategies as progress unfolds and as life circumstances change.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats, and fit therapy into a busy life while working toward meaningful change.
