About Laura

Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She brings more than two decades of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, and relationship struggles. She writes and talks plainly and aims to help people find clearer footing when life feels overwhelming.

Her background includes work with youth and adolescents in community mental health and in private practice. That history shaped a focus on how people relate to the systems around them - schools, caregivers, and families. She also pays attention to issues like attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and blended family challenges.

Laura uses a cognitive-behavioral lens to help clients notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also practices client-centered methods and draws on attachment-based and narrative ways of working to understand life stories and relationships. Mindfulness practices are woven in when helpful for managing strong emotions.

Sessions tend to focus on practical steps alongside careful listening. Clients can expect work on communication, coping skills, and small behavior changes that add up over time. Laura aims to support each person’s goals without taking over the process.

With 22 years of experience in Washington, she continues to blend structured approaches with collaborative, person-focused care. People who want to talk through parenting concerns, career strain, ADHD-related struggles, or coping with life change often find this combination useful.

How attachment, CBT, and client-centered work translate online

Attachment-based work helps people see how early relationships shape current needs and reactions. Online sessions can use discussion and reflective questions to map patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In an online setting this often looks like setting concrete goals, practicing skills between sessions, and reviewing progress together. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity about goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session. That choice can shift over time as needs change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, remove travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when those are helpful. It can also make it simpler to include work on communication, parenting strategies, or skill-building between sessions so therapy fits into everyday life.
