Laura Geiger, LMHC

Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with more than two decades of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing major life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, ADHD, trauma, and issues like low self-esteem and anger.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She centers the client's goals and follows their pace while offering tools that fit daily life. Laura draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to look at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. She also works from attachment and narrative perspectives to understand patterns in relationships and personal stories.

Laura has worked extensively with youth and adolescents in community mental health and private practice settings. That background informs how she notices family dynamics and the systems around a person. She brings 22 years of practice to sessions, aiming to make therapy practical and approachable.

Sessions typically focus on small, usable changes. Clients may practice new ways of communicating, experiment with different coping skills for anxiety or anger, or reframe difficult memories and beliefs. The tone is supportive and client-centered, with an emphasis on what helps the person move forward.

People seeking help for midlife questions, career shifts, caregiver stress, or blended-family challenges can expect a steady, respectful process. Laura encourages collaboration on goals and checks in about what’s working as therapy progresses.

How these approaches shape online work

Laura blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with attachment-based and client-centered ideas to help people make practical changes. Cognitive-behavioral work focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing different choices to shift feelings. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect reactions and trust. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s goals and pace, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which mix of approaches to try and check in often about what is helping and what needs to change.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It also lets people try different ways of working without major disruption to their routine. Licensed professionals can adapt tools from CBT, attachment, and client-centered methods to work well in virtual settings, focusing on clear goals, regular practice, and steady follow-up.
