About Laura
Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with six years as an LPC and earlier experience as a behaviorist. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns including depression and bipolar. Laura speaks English and works with adults on practical problems they face day to day.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions emphasize concrete steps - identifying small, manageable actions and testing them in everyday life. Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques are added when a person wants to clarify values or reframe personal stories.
Laura draws on experience helping people through big transitions and crisis points. That background includes work with caregivers, people dealing with relationship and family stress, and those coping with addiction or compassion fatigue. She describes breaking overwhelming problems into smaller pieces so they feel more workable.
In practice she focuses on skill building: sleep strategies, anger management, communication skills, and pacing during recovery from trauma. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, codependency, commitment and control issues, and concerns that arise with aging or blended family situations.
Practical steps start with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Billing and subscription details vary by location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break problems into thoughts, behaviors, and situations you can change. CBT sessions online focus on noticing patterns, setting small experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy is used to listen and reflect what matters to the person, helping them clarify goals and feel understood while deciding next steps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches straightforward attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Laura will work with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful. Together they set concrete targets and review progress session by session.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins on a break, sessions without travel time, and practices you can try in your regular environment. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and bring back what they learned.
