About Sally

Sally Hazard brings 21 years of clinical experience to her teletherapy practice, combining evidence-based methods with a warm, client-centered stance. As an LMFT licensed in Nevada and California, she integrates cognitive behavioral strategies with trauma-focused work to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in independent practice, group homes, counseling agencies, and a university counseling center, which shaped a flexible approach to different life stages and presenting problems. Her practice emphasizes practical skills and emotional insight, drawing on EMDR for trauma-related symptoms and Internal Family Systems to explore inner parts and attachment patterns.

Sally also adapts interventions creatively for online delivery, using modified sandtray work and therapeutic games when appropriate. She welcomes individuals working through self-esteem, guilt and shame, social anxiety, workplace challenges, and isolation, and she supports clients who are navigating mood disorders or post-traumatic stress.

Sally conducts all sessions via teletherapy from Nevada and offers services in English. Prospective clients interested in starting can expect a collaborative process that focuses on goals, pacing, and methods that fit their needs.

Integrating approaches for online healing and growth

Many of Sally's interventions translate well to teletherapy, and she commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address both everyday stressors and trauma-related symptoms. CBT focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood problems, offering practical skills for managing worry, social anxiety, workplace stress, and depressive patterns. EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to help people reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sally works with clients to clarify goals, assess what feels safe and useful, and adjust methods over time so the plan fits each person's needs and preferences. That flexibility helps ensure therapy stays focused on meaningful change rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow for scheduling flexibility, consistent continuity of care across locations, and the option to use creative adaptations like modified sandtray work or therapeutic exercises suited to remote sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and tools in ways that maintain clinical depth while fitting into a client's daily life.
