About Thomas
Thomas Hazen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 20 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, anger, and stress. He speaks plainly and works to make difficult feelings easier to talk about.
He focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Sessions often include talking through recent events, practicing communication skills, and building ways to manage strong emotions. He pays attention to how life changes, health problems, caregiving demands, and traumatic events affect mood and behavior.
Many clients come with problems tied to family conflict, divorce and separation, addiction, or the stress of caregiving. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain or illness, codependency, and first responder issues. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is included among his focus areas.
His style emphasizes listening, respect, and working together to find what helps. He aims to reduce isolation and shame and to strengthen self-compassion and communication. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s situation rather than following a single fixed method.
People interested in starting will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to therapist availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist scheduling.
Approaches that guide online care
Thomas Hazen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life change. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills for anxiety and depression, teaching breathing, grounding, and pacing strategies to manage overwhelming feelings and daily stressors. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship skills, helping people identify patterns, practice new ways of speaking, and set boundaries that reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to test methods and adjust the plan based on goals and how they respond. This means trying practical tools early and shifting to different techniques if something does not fit.
