Laura Hazard, LPC

Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people when life feels overwhelming. She writes plainly and meets people where they are. Her approach centers on practical steps to make daily life more manageable. She draws on six years as an LPC and a longer history working in behavior-focused roles. That background informs how she helps with anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, grief, and stress from work or relationships. Intimacy-related issues and addiction concerns are also part of her practice. Laura uses straightforward methods to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to increase self-awareness and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person's goals and rhythm. Mindfulness and narrative ideas show up in sessions to help people tune into the present and reframe difficult stories. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck. These tools aim to turn large problems into smaller, manageable steps. She brings particular experience supporting people through major life transitions, compassion fatigue, relationship stress, and personality-related struggles. The work is collaborative: Laura helps clients identify strengths and build on them. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps people clarify what matters to them and decide on realistic next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives simple, practical tools to test new behaviors and reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches paying attention on purpose to notice patterns and to respond more calmly to stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and rhythm. That may mean trying CBT techniques for sleep or anxiety and using client-centered conversation to shape longer term goals.
