About Laura
Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 22 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma, and related challenges.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Laura combines a client-centered stance with cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and handle difficult moments. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and narrative and mindfulness approaches when they fit the need.
Her background includes training at Antioch University Seattle and many years working in community mental health and private practice in Washington. Early work focused on youth and adolescents, and she has experience with the systems that surround young people. That clinical history informs how she looks at family and parenting concerns now.
In a session Laura talks through current problems, looks at how thoughts and actions interact, and tries simple experiments to see what helps. She also pays attention to how relationships and attachment show up in daily life. Mindfulness and narrative strategies are used to help people name painful experiences and shift unhelpful stories they tell themselves.
People can expect direct, steady work on practical problems. Laura often addresses communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, abandonment and attachment issues, and the ripple effects of trauma or chronic stress.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Laura commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas. Client-centered work focuses on what matters to the person and keeps the therapist’s questions grounded in the client’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral ideas look at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and try simple, concrete changes to shift patterns.She also draws on attachment-based thinking to notice how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions. That approach helps when relational themes, parenting dynamics, or attachment concerns are part of the problem. Together, these methods offer both reflection and practical steps for everyday family and parenting challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about which techniques to use are revisited as work progresses so sessions reflect what actually helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit care into a busy household schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions to continue when life is hectic, while the therapist and client try methods that translate into daily routines.
