About Laura
Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than two decades of clinical experience in Washington. She focuses on concerns parents commonly bring up - stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, grief, and trauma - and talks with people about practical ways to move forward. She keeps sessions straightforward and client-centered.
Laura listens first, then helps people set small goals they can try between meetings. She uses clear tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to change unhelpful patterns and to calm strong emotions.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in community mental health and independent practice in Washington. That experience shaped a down-to-earth style that values real-world solutions. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how past experiences affect current reactions.
Parents often meet with Laura to sort through burnout, blended family issues, and challenges tied to adoption or caregiving. She also supports people facing career stress, impulsivity, shame, and relationship communication problems using practical steps and conversation-based strategies. Sessions aim to be collaborative.
Laura helps clients name what matters most, try new ways of responding, and notice what changes. Over time she works with each person to build skills for managing anger, ADHD-related struggles, and life transitions.

How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness work online
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions today; online sessions use conversation to notice those patterns and try different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then test small changes to see what helps in daily life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and parenting strain.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to raise preferences and try different techniques until something feels useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief updates, coping tools between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
