About Hazel

Hazel Richards is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship challenges. She speaks plainly and focuses on clear goals so clients know what they are working toward. Hazel brings three decades of practice to each conversation and aims to make therapy feel practical and doable.

She uses Jungian ideas alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods to help people understand patterns and find concrete steps forward.

Background and approach

Sessions often begin by naming what the client wants to change and spotting obstacles that get in the way. Hazel emphasizes building on a person’s strengths and connecting them with useful resources. Hazel has extensive experience in child welfare, special education, hospital settings, and mental health rehabilitation.

She also works with veterans through the Department of Veterans' Affairs and has supported people dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and addictions. That background informs how she recognizes common stressors and recovery steps. In practice she helps people who struggle with sleep, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and major life transitions.

She also addresses intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, parenting strain, bipolar disorder, obsessions or compulsions, and phobias. The focus is on realistic plans and steady progress. Hazel holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices from Colorado.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Hazel draws on Jungian Therapy to help clients identify personal patterns, symbols, and life themes that shape behavior and relationships. This approach can be useful for people who want to understand deeper influences on their feelings and choices.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting each person’s own goals. That method helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and decide what matters most. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit too, offering short-term steps and practical strategies to address immediate problems like anxiety, sleep issues, or anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hazel will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working together. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helping and what the client finds useful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well for quick check-ins, and chat or messaging can be used for brief updates or when writing helps express thoughts. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
