About Thomas
Thomas Hazen is an LCMHC - a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - based in Utah with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, caregiver strain, chronic illness, codependency, and substance use issues.
Hazen focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions. He listens, points out patterns, and helps clients try new ways of responding to difficult situations. Sessions include talking through what’s happening now and practicing small behavior changes. He pays attention to communication skills and reducing isolation that often comes with anxiety and depression.
Over two decades in practice have included work with people dealing with panic and social anxiety, life transitions like divorce, and stress tied to first responder roles. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood problems and trauma reactions. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Thomas frames therapy as a collaborative process. He helps people set clear goals, track what’s helping, and adjust the approach when needed. This often means building coping skills, trying new ways of communicating, and managing anger or intense emotions.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect his Utah practice. Before starting, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to confirm fit and logistics.
Approaches for anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns
Thomas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in clear, practical ways. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with panic, social anxiety, and mood symptoms. Trauma-informed methods attend to how past events affect current reactions and help people slowly rebuild tolerance for difficult memories and emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize and how quickly to shift strategies.
The specifics of online session options should be confirmed before booking when formats are not listed. This practice emphasizes fitting therapy into everyday life - for example by offering shorter check-ins or sessions that can be scheduled around work and caregiving. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments, reduce travel time, and allow people to continue with regular routines while getting support.
