About Laura
Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, trauma, and parenting strain. She draws on 22 years of practice in Washington and aims to make sessions practical and understandable. Laura uses approachable language and focuses on what people can do between meetings to feel steadier.
Her sessions tend to be client-centered. That means she listens first, follows each person's pace, and helps set small goals.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and narrative methods help people notice patterns and tell their story with more choice. Laura has worked in community mental health and independent practice settings in Washington.
That experience shapes a flexible approach that blends different methods based on need. She pays attention to family-of-origin issues, attachment concerns, and the stress caregivers often face. In practical terms she focuses on skills for coping with anger, impulsivity, codependency, communication problems, and life changes like divorce or adoption-related struggles.
She also supports people dealing with career stress, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to be concrete - setting experiments, practicing skills, and reviewing progress. Clients can expect a calm, respectful presence and clear steps to try between sessions.
Laura centers each person’s goals and adapts tools to fit their daily life. Her style is collaborative, steady, and focused on usable change.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use discussion and guided reflection to identify attachment needs and try new ways of relating to others and to oneself. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following each person's pace. In remote work this looks like open conversation, validation, and helping clients set their own goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Through video or messaging, therapists can assign short experiments and worksheets to practice between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and daily routines, then suggest methods to try. Decisions are made together, and approaches can be adjusted as progress is reviewed. Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen work for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, skills practice, and reminders possible between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into busy days.Frequently asked questions
