About Laura
Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who focuses on helping people manage stress and major life changes. She approaches therapy with a straightforward, approachable style and aims to make overwhelming problems feel more manageable.
She begins by listening to what feels most urgent. Then she helps break larger problems into smaller, concrete steps. Sessions often focus on identifying strengths, building practical coping skills, and making day-to-day routines easier to handle.
Her background includes work with people facing anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, grief, relationship strain, and disruptions from career or life transitions. She also has experience with addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
Laura uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people clarify goals and try new approaches to old patterns.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People who come for help can expect practical tools, simple steps to try between sessions, and steady support while they work toward clearer routines and healthier choices.
She practices in Arizona and conducts therapy in English. Laura has six years of experience as a counselor and holds LPC credentials in Missouri and Arizona.
Approaches that fit online therapy and everyday life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and build on their own strengths to make changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment in a gentle way. It can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, grief, and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
