About Laura
Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She combines practical strategies with a supportive, client-centered stance. Parents often find her direct, steady approach helpful when life feels overwhelming.
She draws on 22 years of experience to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and anger. Laura also works with issues such as self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar concerns, and coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
Her additional focuses include blended family issues, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress. Sessions typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and narrative work to help people rewrite painful stories about themselves.
Mindfulness practices can be added to slow things down and reduce reactivity. Laura describes her style as client-centered. She aims to listen first, then offer tools that fit each person’s life.
She supports practical steps and long-term shifts without rushing the process. Her training includes graduate study at Antioch University Seattle and over two decades of clinical work in Washington state. Laura offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a cancellable subscription model, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Laura combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas in online work. CBT focuses on noticing upsetting thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people create safer, more dependable ways of connecting with others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift methods over time depending on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to keep continuity during life transitions. The mix of short messages and longer video or phone visits lets work continue between sessions and supports small, practical steps toward change.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
