About Laura
Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes. She also helps people grappling with relationship and family problems and related concerns like codependency and communication problems.
Her style centers on client-centered work and practical tools. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to examine patterns and try out different ways of responding. She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Narrative and mindfulness approaches are part of how she helps people notice thoughts and make different choices.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on real situations that cause frustration, snapping, or simmering resentment. She often breaks concerns into manageable steps and practices small shifts people can use between sessions. The focus is on clearer communication, managing impulsivity, and reducing repeated triggers.
Laura trained at Antioch University Seattle and has long experience in community mental health and private practice in Washington. Her background includes work with young people and the systems around them, and that perspective informs how she thinks about family patterns and parenting stress.
People who want practical methods for handling anger and improving relationships tend to respond well to her mix of hands-on CBT techniques, attachment work, mindfulness, and narrative reflection. She emphasizes collaboration and steady problem-solving over theory-heavy explanations.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. In practice she helps people see patterns in their close relationships and how those patterns feed anger or withdrawal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for managing impulsive responses, workplace frustration, and recurring resentments. Mindfulness teaches simple awareness skills for noticing strong emotions and reducing automatic reactivity.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to pick strategies that match goals, comfort level, and everyday life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a single method.
The practical benefits of remote sessions are about fitting therapy into a regular routine. Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins during a break, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter setting with less background noise. Phone calls may use less bandwidth and can be a simpler way to do brief follow-ups, while video can help with conversational work and practicing new communication skills.
