Laura Geiger

Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, depression, and career or parenting strain. Her style is warm and client-focused and she centers each session on the person in front of her.

She trained at Antioch University Seattle and has been practicing in Washington since 2003. Over two decades of work have included community mental health and private practice. That mix gave her experience with a variety of challenges and with coordinating care around young people when needed.

Laura uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that make problems worse. She blends that with attachment-based and narrative perspectives to make sense of relationship patterns and life stories. Mindfulness techniques are used when slowing down and building awareness will help a client feel steadier.

In sessions she takes a client-centered approach, which means she follows each person's pace and priorities. She aims to create straightforward plans you can try between meetings. Therapy can include skills practice, talking through triggers, and reshaping unhelpful habits.

Her background includes work with adoption and foster care topics, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and struggles around guilt, shame, and impulsivity. With 22 years in practice, she draws on practical strategies and steady support to help people move forward.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and reduces reactivity in interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing small behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's own goals and pace; the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laura will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it fits the client's life.

The therapist's biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using worksheets, in-session skill practice, and homework that integrate into daily routines.
