About Laura
Laura Hazard practices in Arizona and blends practical talk with thoughtful listening. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of counseling experience. Laura aims to create a calm, open space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming and start breaking big problems into small, manageable steps.
Her approach emphasizes clear thinking about everyday problems. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns in thinking and change habits that make life harder.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities and pace. Laura has experience supporting people through major life changes and crises. She has worked with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, relationship friction, and difficulty sleeping.
Her background includes helping people handle stress from career or life transitions and from complex personal histories. In sessions she helps clients identify strengths and practical steps they can try between meetings. Conversations are paced to reduce overwhelm and build confidence.
The work often involves short experiments, reframing troubling thoughts, and creating realistic routines. People who come to Laura can expect straightforward language, steady support, and an emphasis on usable tools. She works with each person to piece their life back together in ways that feel manageable and realistic.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Client-centered work starts by following each person’s lead and creating space for what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the goals for therapy in ways that match their priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision can shift over time as different strategies are tested and adjusted.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or other obligations and let people use the format that fits their day. The variety of formats supports follow-up, brief check-ins, and more structured weekly sessions depending on what a person needs.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
