About Laura
Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She brings over two decades of experience to sessions and focuses on concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, ADHD, and adoption and foster care related issues. She prefers a straightforward, client-centered style and aims to support each person as they work through what matters most to them.
Laura’s approach blends practical techniques with attention to personal story. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and relational patterns. Narrative and mindfulness tools are used to clarify values and reduce reactivity.
She has a long background working with young people in community mental health and in private practice. That experience shapes how she listens for systems and relationships that affect daily life. Laura describes herself as someone who supports clients in their own pace of change rather than directing every step.
Sessions typically focus on clear, doable goals. Clients can expect compassionate listening, reflective questions, and simple skill practice between meetings. Laura also partners with people dealing with family of origin struggles, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, and abandonment themes.
Her Washington LMHC credential is part of her practice identity. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling procedures.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Attachment-based work focuses on connection and patterns that repeat in relationships. It helps when worry, abandonment concerns, or trust patterns shape how someone relates to others. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist follows the client's pace and priorities, offering support rather than imposing solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and teaches practical skills to change them. This can be helpful for anxiety, mood shifts, ADHD challenges, and stress management. Together these approaches aim to make sessions feel useful and grounded in everyday life rather than abstract theory.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That collaboration guides which methods are used and how sessions are structured so care fits the client's needs.
Please confirm current online session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy works around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities.
