About Mary
Mary Geiger is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Montana with 14 years of experience. She works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse and trauma. Mary also addresses problems with relationships, parenting, sleep, eating, and coping with life changes.
Mary sees adults, adolescents, and children and provides services in a private practice alongside work in a corrections setting focused on substance abuse and mental health for people with felony DUIs. She often combines concrete skills work with discussions about patterns that keep problems going. Sessions emphasize noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses.
Her clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to address mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, addictions, and issues like codependency or communication problems.
Mary works collaboratively to develop a treatment plan with each client. She starts by learning what has helped and what has not, then picks practical exercises and new ways of thinking to try between sessions. Progress is reviewed and plans are adjusted as needed.
Outside clinical work she spends time with family, travels, and hikes in Montana. Those activities inform a straightforward, task-oriented approach to therapy that emphasizes small, manageable steps toward clearer goals.
How CBT, ACT and DBT inform online sessions
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that make problems worse and to practice new responses. CBT sessions focus on specific thoughts, behaviors, and short experiments to test changes.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and take committed steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for managing emotions and improving communication in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will discuss goals, test methods, and adjust the plan based on what the client prefers and what is helping. This is a collaborative process where clients and therapist choose exercises and skills to try between sessions.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Mary aims to match methods and session structure to each person's life and goals rather than promising a single fixed format.
