About Sally

Sally Hazard is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 21 years of clinical experience who centers her work in Internal Family Systems alongside complementary approaches.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad background across independent practice, agency settings, group homes, university counseling, and foster care services to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem challenges, and depression.

Her experience also includes work with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, workplace concerns, and issues related to attachment, communication, guilt, shame, isolation, and self-love. Working exclusively via teletherapy, she offers treatments adapted for remote formats, including EMDR and creatively modified sandtray techniques and online therapeutic activities when appropriate.

Clients can expect a collaborative stance grounded in client-centered and cognitive behavioral strategies alongside parts-oriented Internal Family Systems work. Licensed as an LMFT in Nevada and California, she combines practical therapeutic tools with a belief in each person’s capacity for growth and healing, helping clients pursue change at a pace that fits their goals and life circumstances.

Bringing parts work and practical strategies to online therapy

Internal Family Systems is a parts-oriented approach that helps people notice and dialogue with different internal parts to reduce inner conflict and promote self-led healing; it can be useful for issues like anxiety, shame, and relationship patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their experiences and clarify personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, supporting symptom relief for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to tailor approaches to their needs, preferences, and goals. She will help clients experiment with different strategies and decide together which tools feel most effective for progress.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy provides flexibility for scheduling and fits varied routines and comfort levels. Remote formats make it possible to access care from home or work and to use creative adaptations of evidence-based methods like EMDR and sandtray-style activities in ways that suit the online setting.
