Laura Geiger

Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, parenting strain, relationship and family concerns, and career or identity struggles. Laura also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes.

Laura brings 22 years of experience in counseling. She trained at Antioch University Seattle and began clinical work after graduating in 2003. Much of her early work focused on youth and adolescents in community mental health and private practice settings. That background informs how she thinks about systems and the people around someone having trouble.

Her style is grounded and client-centered. She aims to be a steady presence who helps individuals name what matters, try things that could help, and notice what changes. She uses clear language and practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions often involve talking, reflecting, and trying small tools to test what helps between meetings.

Laura draws on several approaches when it fits the situation. She uses elements of mindfulness practice, attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioral ideas, narrative work, and a client-centered stance to tailor the work. She focuses on concrete coping skills alongside exploring patterns that keep problems going.

People who meet with Laura can expect a collaborative process. She helps shape goals with each person and adjusts methods as progress unfolds. To begin, she asks about current needs, what has or hasn’t worked before, and what practical steps feel doable next.

How these approaches translate to online work

Laura uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotions in the moment. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity and help with stress, anxiety, and managing strong moods. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns now, helping people understand how they seek connection and why certain interactions trigger them. That perspective can be useful for relationship and family concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the person’s goals guide the work, and the therapist mirrors and clarifies what matters most.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as the work progresses.

Session format details should be confirmed before booking. When arranging online therapy, practical benefits often include easier planning around work or caregiving, shorter check-in meetings when needed, and the ability to continue continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Discuss scheduling preferences and any needed adjustments during the matching and scheduling steps so sessions fit into everyday life.
