About Thomas
Thomas Hazen is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 20 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, anger, or difficulties in close relationships. His style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making hard conversations easier to manage.
He focuses on practical steps that can be used day to day. Sessions often include learning ways to reduce panic and social anxiety, improving communication, and building tools to manage mood swings and traumatic memories.
Background and approach
Thomas pays attention to how symptoms affect daily life and routines rather than only discussing ideas in the abstract. Thomas works with adults facing a wide range of concerns. These include abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, substance and alcohol problems, family conflict, divorce and separation, first responder stress, and aging-related worries.
He also addresses issues tied to autism spectrum experiences and disruptive mood patterns. His approach centers on listening, respect, and collaborative planning. He partners with clients to set realistic goals and to try strategies that fit each person’s situation.
When progress is slow he adjusts plans so the work stays useful and doable. Thomas offers several session formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He aims to help people move toward calmer days and clearer relationships through steady, practical work.
Evidence-based approaches and online options
Thomas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common method helps people learn step-by-step skills to reduce panic, social anxiety, and everyday worry by practicing breathing, exposure to feared situations in small steps, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns. Another common focus is improving communication and problem-solving to ease relationship strain and manage anger, taught through clear exercises and role practice.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Thomas works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort, and pace. He checks in regularly and adjusts plans so the strategies fit how a person lives and what they want to change.
Online therapy with Thomas offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people have more in-depth sessions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health routines while still working toward meaningful change.
