About Mary
Mary Geiger is a licensed counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist based in Montana. She brings 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her approach aims to be practical and down-to-earth for parents who need straightforward help.
Mary starts by listening and learning what a person or parent needs most. She uses clear, evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral work and skills-based approaches.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life tools for mood, sleep, and coping with big changes. In her practice she addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, substance use, grief, intimacy issues, ADHD, and relationship or family concerns. She also works with people facing trauma and post-traumatic stress, helping them rebuild routines and safety in daily life.
Mary blends goal-focused strategies with supportive conversation. Together with each client she builds a treatment plan that fits their goals and family rhythms. That plan may include techniques for emotion regulation, communication, and relapse prevention where relevant.
Outside of work she enjoys being a grandmother, planning travel, and spending time hiking in Montana. Her practical, compassionate style is aimed at helping parents and individuals find steady ways to handle stressful times.

Approaches that fit parenting and life changes
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for parents facing ongoing stress, worry, or life transitions who want to act more on purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and many parenting-related struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. These tools can help with strong emotions, anger, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person or parent about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Decisions are made together and can be adjusted if something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have fuller conversations and read facial cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins or coaching between sessions and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to use skill practice and keep momentum while managing family schedules.
