About Laura
Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with six years of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression. Laura also lists additional focus areas including aging and geriatric issues, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and family problems. Sessions are presented plainly and aimed at sorting through what feels overwhelming at home or work.
Laura uses clear, down-to-earth methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to follow what the person wants to talk about. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice thoughts and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness and narrative elements help people notice patterns and make different choices in daily life.
Her background includes prior work as a behaviorist followed by several years as an LPC, which shaped an emphasis on practical steps and steady pacing. She often breaks bigger problems into smaller tasks so progress feels manageable. That approach can help when life shifts suddenly or stress piles up.
In a session she listens, helps name what matters, and suggests small experiments to try between meetings. People commonly bring worries about relationships, caregiver strain, grief, or feeling worn down by work and life changes. Laura aims to help clients identify strengths and build clearer next steps.
Sessions are conducted in English in Arizona. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking. To begin, there is a short matching questionnaire and an opportunity to schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to the session. Online this means conversations start where the client feels most concerned and the therapist reflects what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. In an online format this can include planning short experiments to try between sessions and reviewing results together. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment noticing and simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity; these practices can be coached and practiced during remote meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels workable. That discussion helps decide whether to emphasize CBT, client-centered listening, mindfulness, or a mix of methods, and the plan can be adjusted as needs change. The process is collaborative rather than fixed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Ask which online meeting options are offered and how scheduling works. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people practice techniques in the settings where they live and then discuss what worked in the next meeting.
