Thomas Hazen, LCMHC

Thomas Hazen is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 20 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He aims to offer steady, practical support so clients can manage day-to-day pressures and regain a sense of control.

He often works with people facing life transitions, social anxiety, panic, and mood difficulties. He pays attention to how relationships and communication affect emotional health and helps clients build clearer ways of talking and connecting. Aging and geriatric issues are included among the topics he addresses when relevant to a person’s situation.

His style is collaborative and down-to-earth. He listens closely, asks straightforward questions, and helps people set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, such as communication strategies, coping tools, and ways to reduce overwhelm.

Across his work he emphasizes respect and empathy. He aims to reduce shame and isolation while helping clients grow more self-compassion. The goal is practical change that fits into busy lives, not abstract theory.

Thomas practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Thomas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach he uses helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and panic - it teaches breathing and grounding strategies, and practical steps to reduce avoidance so daily life feels more manageable. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationships by helping people notice interaction patterns and practice clearer ways of speaking and setting boundaries.

Choosing a method is a collaborative process. He works with clients to figure out which approaches fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. Over the first few sessions he will suggest options, try them out, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue care during life transitions or while managing health-related challenges. Discuss available formats and timing with him when you schedule to find what works best for your routine.
