About Laura
Laura Hazard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who approaches therapy with a straightforward, practical style. She helps people facing overwhelm from life changes, work stress, relationship shifts, and sleep difficulties. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps so progress feels possible rather than overwhelming.
She brings six years as an LPC and earlier experience as a behaviorist to each session. That background informs her use of cognitive behavior ideas to increase self-awareness and identify strengths. She encourages simple, clear actions that can change daily patterns and support better rest and routine.
In the room she creates an open, approachable space where clients can talk honestly about what’s not working. Common topics include anxiety, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and challenges around intimacy and communication. She also supports people coping with addictions, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and career stress.
Laura also carries additional focus with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and a range of personality and relational difficulties. Her work includes helping people sort through major life transitions and recover from trauma and abuse with steady, practical steps.
Her style combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. Clients leave with concrete strategies to manage stress, improve sleep patterns, and rebuild daily routines so life feels more manageable.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist creates space for each person to tell their story and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice stress and tension in the body and learn brief practices to calm the mind and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, day-to-day rhythms, and what feels useful. Together they pick or blend methods so sessions match the client's needs and preferences in a collaborative way.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making follow-ups easier to keep. Because formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain regular check-ins, practice skills between meetings, and try brief mindfulness or CBT exercises during a normal day without long travel.
