About Lauren
Lauren Scogin is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people through major life transitions. She holds a Vermont LICSW and a Maine LCSW and uses a straightforward, compassionate approach to address stress, anxiety, grief, and career concerns. Lauren listens closely and helps clients find practical ways forward.
Before focusing full time on therapy, she spent five years as a nursing home administrator. That role added skills in leadership and working through complex health and care decisions.
Background and approach
It also shaped her understanding of aging, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and caregiver stress. Lauren blends client-centered work with emotionally focused and mindfulness-based strategies. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe problems and identify small steps.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and workable tools. Her background includes supporting people coping with relationship struggles, divorce and separation, pregnancy loss, and grief related to illness or loss. She also helps people facing mood disorders, postpartum depression, and stress from demanding jobs like first responder roles.
Lauren aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through feelings and test new ways of coping. She frames coaching and therapy as collaborative work, where the client’s priorities guide each step.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and major life transitions.Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong emotions and how those emotions shape behavior. EFT is often used when relationship patterns or attachment worries are part of the concern, and it can help people process grief or strong reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. Together they will try methods that fit, adjust over time, and track small changes.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for ongoing brief support and written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work from a distance.
