About Laura

Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with more than two decades of clinical experience. She combines a client-centered stance with cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people recognize unhelpful patterns and build practical strategies for change.

Background and approach

Her work has often focused on youth and adolescents, and she brings experience from community mental health and independent practice settings to her therapeutic approach. Laura emphasizes collaboration and supports clients in exploring how life stressors, relationships, mood concerns, and identity challenges show up in daily life.

She draws on attachment-informed perspectives to notice relational patterns, and she uses narrative and mindfulness tools to help people make sense of their stories and develop greater emotional regulation. As an LMHC licensed in Washington (WA LMHC LH00011093), she frames treatment around the client’s goals and readiness to change, adapting methods to each person’s situation and pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Laura often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress and teaching concrete skills to shift them, which is useful for anxiety, mood, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early relational experiences to help clients understand how they relate to others and how those patterns affect current emotional life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, explore which methods resonate, and adapt techniques to fit the person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or on the go. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings, with therapists tailoring tools and exercises to the chosen mode of communication.
