About Lauren
Lauren Scogin is a licensed social worker with 15 years of experience helping people through major life changes. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices from Vermont after moving from the New England seacoast. Lauren focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem concerns.
She draws on a client-centered style that lets people lead the pace of work while she offers guidance and structure. That approach pairs well with solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable steps.
How Lauren works
Emotion-focused and narrative methods help people make sense of difficult feelings and rewrite painful stories about themselves. Lauren has five years of experience as a nursing home administrator, which gives her insight into health systems, aging, and caregiver stress. She uses that background when supporting elders, people facing hospice or end-of-life decisions, and those managing care-related burdens.
She also helps people dealing with divorce, postpartum depression, and the fallout from trauma or disasters. Sessions often emphasize simple practices clients can use day to day, such as grounding exercises and small behavioral changes. Lauren also offers coaching for career and leadership concerns drawn from her administrative experience.
Her work aims to be straightforward, respectful, and focused on what matters most to each person. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Lauren encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session when they are ready.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Online sessions let the therapist follow your lead while offering practical feedback and validation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift the patterns that keep painful emotions active, which can be done through guided conversation and targeted exercises during virtual sessions.Lauren will work with each person to find which approach fits best. She treats choosing a method as a collaborative process, checking in about goals, daily life, and what feels most helpful. That way the plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
Using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful when face-to-face interaction matters, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or fitting sessions into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel.
