About Laura
Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. She frames therapy around practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Her approach is straightforward and focused on helping people break large problems into smaller, doable parts.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, accepting space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors that keep stress and anxiety stuck.
How Laura works
Mindfulness and narrative techniques are also part of her toolkit to strengthen awareness and reshape personal stories. Laura has six years of counseling experience working with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also supports people coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.
Her background includes work with personality-related concerns and a range of family and caregiving stresses. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals. Laura helps people spot strengths and build simple routines that ease overwhelm.
She uses plain language and short-term strategies when that fits the need. People choose Laura for direct, collaborative work on sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar concerns, and grief. She offers a down-to-earth style that aims to turn confusing problems into steps that can be managed one at a time.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Laura uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters to them and set their own pace. This approach helps with low mood, uncertainty, and relationship concerns by emphasizing listening and collaboration.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is practical for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes because it breaks problems into specific steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize CBT tasks, mindfulness practice, or a client-centered conversation style.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
