Mary Geiger is a licensed counselor (LCPC) and licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Montana. She brings 14 years of clinical experience to work with people facing depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and self esteem concerns. Mary meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps that help with day-to-day stress and relationships.
In her independent practice she sees adults, teens, and children, and she also has experience providing treatment in a corrections setting for people with felony DUI convictions. That mix of community and correctional work has shaped an approach that balances realistic planning with compassionate support. She uses straightforward talk, active listening, and clear goals in sessions.
Mary draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She adapts techniques to the person in front of her and helps build skills for managing emotions, improving sleep, and coping with life changes.
Her counseling style is warm and person-centered. Mary starts by learning what matters most to each client and then co-creates a plan that fits their needs. She also has experience working with parenting challenges, intimacy issues, grief, and mood disorders.
Away from work she enjoys hiking, travel, and family time with her grandchildren. These personal interests inform her appreciation for small, practical steps that add up to meaningful change.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small, meaningful steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, mood problems, sleep, and managing cravings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and then she and the client will choose strategies that fit. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, keep progress between visits, and practice new skills in a real-life setting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or options that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions when they match a client's needs.
She works with stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma and abuse, self esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting, ADHD, bipolar and related mood disorders.
