Laura Hazard

Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people who feel overwhelmed by big life changes. She presents as approachable and calm, focusing on making problems feel more manageable. Laura uses practical steps to help people break large issues into smaller pieces they can handle one at a time.

She draws on six years as an LPC and earlier experience working as a behaviorist. That background informs a mix of hands-on strategies and thoughtful conversation. Laura often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior and shift them toward what works better for daily life.

People come to her for stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, compassion fatigue, addiction issues, trauma, anger, sleep problems, self-esteem, mood struggles, and career questions. She also has experience with personality and family-related concerns and with caregiving and aging issues. Laura frames challenges as parts of life that can be understood and changed over time.

In sessions she focuses on strengths and practical next steps. That can include small experiments to test a new way of coping, adding mindful practices to calm the body, or rewriting a story people tell themselves about who they are. She aims to help people rearrange the pieces of a difficult situation into a clearer picture.

Her work is collaborative and paced to fit each person. People who want straightforward guidance paired with listening and real-world tools may find her style useful.

Approachable methods for online therapeutic work

Laura frequently draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where people can discuss what matters most to them. That approach focuses on the person in front of the therapist and aims to follow their lead while offering supportive reflection.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try small, practical experiments to change them. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, low mood, and everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as needed. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tested and changed based on what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and can reduce time spent on commuting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that don’t require being on camera, depending on the format offered. Licensed professionals aim to match the practical format to the person's day-to-day needs.
