About Mary
Mary Geiger is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist based in Montana. She draws on 14 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, substance concerns, and anger. Mary brings a calm, straightforward approach that aims to make therapy easy to understand and use.
She meets each person where they are and starts by learning what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical strategies from evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
Treatment is tailored to the specific problems named by the person seeking help. Mary has worked in clinical and correctional settings, providing mental health and substance-abuse services to people with a range of needs. That background informs her problem-solving style and her ability to offer clear steps for coping, rebuilding routines, and reducing harmful habits.
She also has experience helping people process trauma and grief. In session she uses a mix of structured skills practice and supportive conversation. Goals are set together and revisited as progress is made.
Parents and caregivers will find straightforward guidance for parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, and communication challenges. Outside of work Mary spends time hiking in Montana and planning travels with her family. She aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can address anger, relationship strains, or life transitions and develop realistic, usable strategies.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, anger, and life changes by encouraging small, value-guided steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with practical skills for mood, sleep, and coping. It is well suited to depression, anxiety, and managing impulses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal skills in short, usable exercises that many people find helpful for intense emotions and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of working together. Mary will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. Therapy can combine elements from several methods so the plan reflects what the person needs and what they can use between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions are an option when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on real, practical change.
