About Laura
Laura Geiger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who practices in Washington.

Background and approach
Her background includes work in community mental health and independent practice. Much of her early work was with young people and the systems around them, and she draws on that experience when addressing family and parenting challenges. That experience also shaped her interest in adoption, attachment, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.
Sessions often include clear goals, skill practice, and attention to life context. She uses attachment-based ideas when relationships are central to the concern. Mindfulness techniques are offered for coping with strong emotions and building self-awareness.
People who come for help will find a practical, supportive approach. Laura aims to meet clients where they are and to work collaboratively on changes that matter in daily life.

Online session options
Approaches that fit online care and everyday life
Laura blends Narrative Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that translate well to online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and rewrite how they see difficult events; it can be useful for depression, grief, and identity concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions and can help when relationship patterns, parenting stress, or family-of-origin issues are part of the problem.She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in each person's goals and pace. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying a narrative exercise one week and a skill-building CBT technique the next.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or hands-free time is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on making workable changes.
