Laura Geiger , LMHC

Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, ADHD symptoms, and relationship worries. She brings 22 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Laura is comfortable talking through trauma, attachment concerns, and career or identity questions as they come up.

Her style is straightforward and centered on the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered principles to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Laura also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors. Mindfulness and narrative approaches are woven in to help people notice patterns and rewrite difficult stories about themselves.

Laura has a long history of working in community mental health and private practice in Washington. That background gives her experience with a wide range of problems, from parenting stress to complex mood and anxiety issues. She can help people sort through family of origin concerns, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress.

In sessions Laura often mixes short exercises with open conversation. Clients can expect clear suggestions, homework when useful, and a calm, nonjudgmental presence. She aims to help people leave sessions with one or two practical steps to try between meetings.

People describe her approach as steady and collaborative, with attention to both feelings and real-life changes. Laura works to make therapy manageable and focused on the goals each person brings.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Laura uses client-centered work to follow each person's lead, listening without judgment and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and decide goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it often includes simple in-session practice and take-home exercises to change day-to-day routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate to choose which methods to use based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it fits each person's life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow visual connection and full conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, timely support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or other routines.
