About Laura
Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 22 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, depression, ADHD, grief, parenting, and other life strains. Laura works with adults who notice old family patterns affecting their choices and feelings today.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Laura draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. She also works from attachment-based and client-centered perspectives to look at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions.
Sessions often involve talking about specific situations from daily life. Laura helps people name recurring roles and expectations they learned in their family of origin. From there she and the client try new ways of responding to conflict, closeness, and responsibility.
Her background includes a master’s degree from Antioch University Seattle and long experience in community mental health and private practice in Washington. The LMHC credential indicates licensure to practice in the state.
When working on family of origin issues she blends narrative and mindfulness techniques alongside CBT. Narrative work helps people tell and reframe their story. Mindfulness exercises can help reduce automatic reactivity and build calm in stressful moments.
Laura favors clear, practical steps and steady reflection. She supports people who want to change patterns that trace back to childhood roles, attachment styles, or family expectations.
How her approaches translate to online work
Laura blends attachment-based ideas, client-centered practice, and cognitive behavioral techniques in session. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current expectations and reactions and can help with trust, closeness, and boundary concerns. Client-centered practice focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s priorities guide the process and goals. Cognitive behavioral work identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and handle stressful situations.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. When offered, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Phone or video choices can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are necessary. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial matching steps so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
