Laura Hazard , LPC

Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona who helps people navigate overwhelming life changes and everyday stresses. With six years of experience as a counselor, she focuses on making large problems feel more manageable by breaking them into practical, achievable steps. Her approach is warm and approachable, inviting clients to explore their experiences while identifying strengths and resources that can support recovery and growth.

Laura works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, addictions, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also offers support for aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication and commitment challenges, and other relational or personality-related concerns.

Drawing from client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques, Laura aims to increase self-awareness and help clients build practical skills for coping. She integrates motivational interviewing and narrative therapy tools when they fit the client’s goals, tailoring the work to each person’s needs. Her intention is to create a receptive space where clients can reorganize overwhelming feelings into clearer, usable steps toward the life they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Laura Hazard uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative, empathetic relationship that helps people feel heard and supported while they explore goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and acceptance practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds to maintain a good fit.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support, fit therapy into busy days, and continue work through life transitions without needing to travel to appointments.
