About Laura
Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who focuses on helping people manage overwhelming life moments. She writes plainly and listens closely, aiming to make big problems feel more manageable. Her way of working centers on practical steps rather than jargon, so clients leave with clearer next steps and a sense of progress.
She draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to boost self-awareness. That means the work starts with the client's goals and looks at thoughts and habits that get in the way. Laura helps people spot strengths they already have and put those strengths to use in everyday life.
Her background includes years supporting people through major life transitions and mental health challenges. That experience informs how she responds to anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as addictions, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
Laura has worked with people facing personality-related challenges and complex relational patterns, including avoidant and dependent personality features, codependency, and commitment concerns. She also lists experience with aging and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and the impacts of natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Laura uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when helpful, guiding clients to reshape unhelpful stories and find motivation for change. People who want a straightforward, step-by-step approach to move past overwhelm may find this style useful.
How Laura Uses Practical Therapies Online
Client-centered therapy puts your priorities first and focuses on what matters to you. It helps when someone needs a respectful, listening space to sort through big decisions or emotional strain.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. It breaks issues into steps you can change, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and anger management.
Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention skills to notice stress and reduce reactivity. Learning to notice the body and breath can be helpful for coping with overwhelm and improving focus.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. If something isn’t working, the plan can shift so you find a better fit together.
