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 draws on practical experience in healthcare leadership to guide conversations about change, loss, and career shifts.
She spent five years as a nursing home administrator, which gave her hands-on knowledge of organizational management and elder care. That background informs how she supports older adults and caregivers facing health-related challenges and end-of-life decisions.
Her practice focuses on grief, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and the stress that comes with life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, divorce, pregnancy loss, and first responder issues. Coaching for career or executive transitions is part of her work as well.
Lauren uses a client-centered approach that puts the person’s experience first. She also draws on emotionally-focused, mindfulness, narrative, and solution-focused methods to match what each person needs in the room. Sessions are intended to be a place where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
She encourages practical steps alongside reflection. That might mean clarifying goals, practicing mindfulness tools, or reshaping the story someone tells about themselves. Lauren aims to help people connect with their own strengths as they plan next steps.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are, helping them set the pace and agenda for sessions. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people identify and name important feelings and then use that awareness to change how they relate to others. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve daily coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try together. Sessions are collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules by reducing travel time and making it easier to arrange appointments around work or caregiving. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and options that don't require being on camera for the whole time. These practical benefits aim to make ongoing care more manageable while the therapist and client shape a plan that fits everyday life.
