Mary Geiger , LCPC, LMFT

Mary Geiger is a licensed mental health professional practicing in Montana with 14 years of experience. She holds the credentials LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), and combines clinical leadership with private practice work to support adults, adolescents, children, and families.

In addition to running a private practice, she serves as a clinical director in a Department of Corrections setting, providing substance use and mental health treatment for individuals convicted of felony DUIs. Her clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma in children, and a broad range of relationship and family concerns. She also addresses stress, anger, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping challenges, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and mood-related difficulties.

Mary uses an integrative approach that draws from evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and offers it when evaluation indicates it is appropriate. Her style is consistently empathetic and collaborative, beginning with getting to know each person and shaping a treatment plan around individual needs and goals.

Outside of her professional life she values family time as a grandmother, enjoys travel and planning future trips, and takes advantage of Montana's outdoors through hiking and nature activities.

Approach-Based Online Therapy with Mary Geiger

Mary Geiger draws on practical, skills-focused approaches to help people manage stress, trauma, addiction, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be helpful for strong emotions, relationship challenges, and coping during crises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and increasing psychological flexibility, supporting people who want to live more fully alongside difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - appointments can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to connect from home, during travel, or when in-person options are limited. For many, working with licensed professionals in these formats makes it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
