About Lauren
Lauren Scogin is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and is licensed in Vermont and Maine. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions, and she lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
She spent five years as a nursing home administrator, which gave her hands-on experience with leadership and health-related systems. That background informs how she supports older adults, caregivers, and families dealing with illness, hospice decisions, and end-of-life adjustments. She also offers executive and professional coaching related to career strain and role changes.
In sessions she uses practical methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses emotionally-focused and narrative approaches to help people understand feelings and the stories they tell themselves.
Mindfulness and solution-focused methods appear in her work when people want concrete steps or skills to manage stress and anxiety. She helps clients work through relationship struggles, divorce, pregnancy loss, caregiving burden, and midlife questions. She also supports those coping with trauma, postpartum depression, and mood disorders.
Her style emphasizes listening and collaboration. She invites people to bring the concerns they carry and to test small changes between sessions. To begin, people choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lauren integrates client-centered therapy by following what matters most to each person, helping people name their priorities and set the pace. That approach is useful for worries like guilt, shame, or adjusting after loss because it centers the client's own concerns.Emotionally-focused therapy helps people notice and name strong feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships. In remote sessions this can look like tracking reactions, reflecting on moments that feel charged, and trying new ways of responding between meetings.
Mindfulness practice offers short skills for stress and anxiety management. Simple breathing and attention exercises can be introduced in session and practiced between meetings to reduce reactivity and increase calm attention to the present.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she may mix approaches as needed. The emphasis is on adjusting the plan as progress or new issues appear.
