Lauren Scogin , LICSW, LCSW

Lauren Scogin is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people through major life transitions. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices from Vermont after relocating from the New England seacoast. Her style is direct and practical, focused on clear goals and steady progress.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and shape sessions around each person's values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relationship patterns or strong emotions get in the way. Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy tools are available to help people notice unhelpful patterns and tell a different story about their lives.

Lauren has experience in healthcare leadership, including five years as a nursing home administrator. That background informs her work with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and other health-related adjustments. She also brings experience supporting those facing grief, pregnancy loss, and bereavement.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue, and supports those wrestling with life purpose, career decisions, or midlife change. Lauren also works with relationship strain, divorce and separation, attachment concerns, and mood disorders.

Sessions focus on collaboration and practical steps clients can use between meetings. Lauren aims to create a nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be named, examined, and shifted toward everyday improvements.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and shaping sessions around each person's goals and values, helping people feel heard and develop plans that work for their daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding strong feelings and changing unhelpful relationship patterns, which can help with grief, attachment issues, and relationship strain. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve awareness of thoughts and emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. This collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as progress is made or new concerns arise.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching moments, or when a written reflection feels more helpful. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life.
