About Laura
Laura Geiger is a Washington LMHC with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar challenges, and coping with life changes. She also works with related problems such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family issues, caregiving stress, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness.
She trained at Antioch University Seattle and began practicing in the early 2000s. Over two decades she has worked in community mental health and in private practice. Much of her earlier work involved youth and adolescents within their wider systems, and that experience informs how she sees systems and relationships now.
Her style is client-centered and straightforward. Sessions tend to focus on what the person wants to change. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also draws on attachment-based and narrative approaches to look at relationship patterns and personal stories.
In practice she combines talk-based work with practical exercises you can try between sessions. She helps people name what is happening, test small changes, and notice what shifts. Where mindfulness fits, she uses simple attention practices to steady the mind.
People looking for help with career stress, parenting strain, relationship conflict, or the fallout of trauma will find a clinician experienced at working with those themes. She works in English and is based in Washington. To begin, clients follow the site's sign-up steps and schedule a first session.
How Laura’s approaches work in online sessions
Laura uses cognitive behavioral ideas and attachment-based work that translate well to an online setting. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small experiments to change them; it can be useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and coping with life changes. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in important relationships and how those patterns affect current reactions and expectations; this can help with relationship conflict and attachment issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods collaboratively as sessions progress. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize based on how things are going.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using worksheets, thought records, brief mindfulness practices, and narrative exercises between meetings to reinforce progress.
