About Laura
Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who centers her work on practical, mindful approaches. She uses simple, steady methods to help people manage feeling overwhelmed from life changes, stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. Laura writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what you can use right away.
She draws on Mindfulness Therapy to slow down racing thoughts and increase present-moment awareness. Laura also uses Client-Centered techniques to follow each person's priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes. These methods are mixed to match the issue at hand rather than follow a strict script.
Her background includes six years as a counselor plus earlier experience as a behaviorist, which shaped a practical, problem-solving style. She has worked with people navigating compassion fatigue, major life transitions, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and sleeping or intimacy-related problems. Laura focuses on breaking big problems into manageable steps so progress feels doable.
Sessions are geared toward identifying strengths and building on them. She helps people clarify priorities, practice new habits, and repair communication problems that cause ongoing stress. The goal is steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.
If you want straightforward, mindful work that connects everyday struggles to clear next steps, Laura offers an approach that aims to reduce overwhelm and support long-term coping.
How mindfulness and practical therapies work online
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and physical tension without getting swept away by them. It can reduce reactivity and make it easier to try small changes during stressful times. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's priorities and using a calm, respectful stance to help clarify goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses brief experiments to test new responses to old problems.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. Together you will decide which techniques to keep and which to change so work fits your needs and pace.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow for a quicker check-in when needed. It also lets people practice mindfulness and behavioral experiments in their regular environment, so new skills transfer more naturally into day-to-day life.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
