Lauren Scogin

Lauren Scogin is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people through major life changes. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and recently relocated from the New England Seacoast to Vermont. Lauren aims to create a calm, open space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and figure out next steps.

She draws on practical experience from five years as a nursing home administrator, which gave her insight into healthcare settings and working with older adults. That background informs her work with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She helps people manage grief, adjustment to health changes, and the tough decisions that come with serious illness.

Lauren also supports people facing relationship strain, divorce and separation, and attachment issues. She works with clients dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. Career concerns, leadership strain, and first responder issues are included in her practice as well.

Her approach emphasizes listening and collaboration. Lauren uses client-centered methods and draws from emotionally-focused, mindfulness, narrative, and solution-focused ideas to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She believes clients have the answers inside them and helps them find practical ways forward.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Lauren acknowledges that courage. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, supportive conversation aimed at making daily life more manageable.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist encourages people to lead the conversation while offering empathy and reflection to help them understand their own priorities and choices.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It can be useful for processing grief, attachment wounds, and times of intense loss or change.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings without getting stuck in them. This can help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and make room for clearer decisions during hard transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their needs. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel useful and doable.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since options are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to balance therapy with work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It can allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling, and the ability to continue sessions while living in a different region. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and practices so they work in an online setting.
