More about Mary

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCPC, LMFT

I am currently a licensed Counselor in Montana specializing in mental health issues along with issues dealing with substance abuse and addictions. I have a private practice where I offer services to adults, adolescents, children, and families. I also work as a clinical director in a Department of Corrections setting providing substance abuse and mental health treatment for individuals with Felony DUI's. My expertise is in working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and also in helping children deal with trauma. While I work in the corrections setting during the day, I have a private practice, where I work with families, couples, individuals including adults, teens and children. Living in rural Montana, I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients with various mental health concerns.

My counseling style is empathetic in nature. I begin by getting to know my client and what will work best for them. The most frequent orientations that I utilize include cognitive-behavioral therapy, person centered, family systems, and mindfulness. I use an eclectic array of techniques that will be determined with the client and then utilized to develop a treatment plan unique to the client's concerns. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and provide EMDR to clients that it is appropriate with through evaluation.

Counseling is a process that can be very beneficial to help address various aspects of a person's life. I look forward to building a therapeutic relationship where we can work together to meet your needs.

A little bit about me outside of Betterhelp. I enjoy being a grandmother to 3 grandchildren (and 1 on the way) and spending as much time with them as I can. I also am an avid traveler and have goals to visit as many countries as I can in the future. I enjoy planning my travels as much as I do the traveling part, so I am always planning for some future trip. If I can be outside, hiking and enjoying nature, I am, one of the many blessings of living in Montana.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Love how she always provides great advice, and an open ear. Relationship with myself and my wife have made 180 degree turns since starting BetterHelp!

I can hardly believe how quickly Mary was able to connect with me and ultimately turn me around. My outlook went from bleak to hopefully and now to confident. Mary offers timely wisdom, kindness, safety, and true things and she generously and carefully infuses into me somehow. There is still a pandemic, still all kinds of scary news, but I feel much better about everything. I feel better. Thank you Mary

I absolutely love working with Mary! She has been incredible helping me through so much of what I've been going through right now, and I love how resourceful she is with sending me things I need that will help me further! She's very responsive, very caring, and very compassionate. I look forward to our sessions and communication - she's the best!

If you're going through something, big or not big, scary or less scary, old or new, I think working with Mary Geiger will help most people feel better. I felt better and more hopeful after one session, after several sessions now I feel actually stronger. Mary listens, is insightful, actually helps, and has the best worksheets if, like me, you're into worksheets! ❤️

Very thankful for Mary. In the past month my anxiety and negative thoughts have made a 180 degree turn thanks to her assistance.

Reviewed April 2021

Mary seems to understand my struggles in life and gives me comfort in believing in my capability to heal myself and my nature. I was the one who would never consider therapy because I was truly scared of it. I remember reading about, "why is it that there are more therapists (something about per square mile in rich parts of the world) than in other parts of the world" and I now am starting to understand the follies of human nature in which that derives from. As humans pursuing our deliberation people will try to cut you down, lie, show you a fake path, and steal your time - for what - power, money? Better help has helped me find my truest power and spirit and I wish to guide more wisdom. It encourages me to keep going with a stronger light than I have ever had before.

I really like the fact that I could talk and talk, and Mary listened patiently. I probably needed to just pull it all out! Thank you, Mary!

She’s everything I never knew I needed in a therapist! I’m thoroughly impressed that this app matched us together! I don’t think I could have found her on my own. She gives me a lot of helpful perspectives that I don’t get from friends or family and I always leave a session feeling more in my power and more present.
