About Laura

Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington who brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person's own goals, and pairs that orientation with practical cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people identify unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills. Laura trained at Antioch University Seattle and has long worked in both community mental health and independent practice settings.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and transitions in life. She also attends to related topics such as attachment and adoption issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, impulsivity, and communication problems.

Laura frames therapy as a collaboration, offering support and structure while helping clients explore their stories and try out change-oriented strategies tailored to their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Laura uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practices concrete skills that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. This approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and situations where changing routine responses can make a difference.

She also draws on attachment-based principles, which explore how early and current relational patterns shape emotions and expectations. That perspective can be helpful for people navigating relationship difficulties, family dynamics, abandonment concerns, or attachment-related stress. Narrative therapy is another tool she uses to help clients reframe their stories and separate identity from problems, which can support shifts in self-concept and empower new choices.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to determine which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy lives. These options can increase access to consistent care and let clients maintain momentum between sessions while working toward practical, real-world changes.
