About Laura
Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and grief. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma, and major life changes. Her style is down-to-earth and supportive, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to respond when emotions feel overwhelming.
She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Laura also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Narrative and mindfulness techniques help people make sense of hard experiences and build calm, practical habits. With more than two decades of clinical experience in Washington, Laura brings steady, patient guidance to sessions.
She trained at Antioch University Seattle and has spent much of her career working in community mental health and independent practice settings. This long experience gives her practical familiarity with common family and caregiver stresses. Sessions are collaborative.
She aims to listen first, then try simple strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Many clients work on communication skills, impulse control, and coping plans for strong emotions like anger. People coming for help should expect clear, manageable steps rather than jargon.
Laura helps clients set realistic goals and measures progress over time, adjusting the plan as needs change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current responses. In simple terms it helps people notice patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change feelings and outcomes; it is often used for anxiety, anger, and mood struggles. Mindfulness techniques teach brief practices for noticing thoughts and bodily sensations so strong emotions become easier to ride out instead of reacting immediately.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their life. She collaborates on a plan, checks in on what helps, and adjusts steps over time so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video gives a close face-to-face experience, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing work between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days while using the approaches described above.
