Mary Geiger, LCPC, LMFT

Mary Geiger is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Montana with 14 years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, substance use concerns, trauma, and anger. Mary sees adults, teens, and children and has experience in both private practice and correctional treatment settings.

Mary draws on cognitive-behavioral methods alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help people manage moods and reactions. She begins by listening to what a person needs and figuring out practical steps that fit their life. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, like managing difficult thoughts, improving communication, and reducing impulsive responses.

Her background includes clinical direction in a Department of Corrections program, where she provides substance abuse and mental health treatment for people with felony DUIs. That work informs how she approaches problems like addiction, relapse triggers, and the overlap of legal and emotional stressors.

In private practice she works with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, intimacy issues, and a range of mood and personality concerns. She also addresses attention challenges, eating and sleeping problems, and struggles with guilt, shame, or isolation. Mary uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when those fit the client's goals.

Outside of clinical work she spends time with grandchildren, plans travel, and hikes around Montana. Her approach is practical and collaborative, with an emphasis on clear steps people can try between sessions.
