Lauren Scogin, LICSW, LCSW

Lauren Scogin is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 15 years of experience to her practice. She helps people navigate major life transitions, grief, career changes, and the stresses that come with caregiving and aging. Lauren is licensed in Vermont (LICSW) and Maine (LCSW) and recently moved from the New England Seacoast to the Green Mountains.

Her background includes five years as a nursing home administrator, where she gained hands-on experience with healthcare leadership and the practical challenges of elder care. That time shaped how she supports older adults and the people who care for them. She helps clients understand health-related changes and the emotions that follow.

Lauren uses a straightforward, collaborative approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps people name priorities and set steps they can try between meetings. Her style draws on client-centered work, emotionally-focused methods, and mindfulness practices to help people feel heard and more steady in daily life.

She also applies narrative and solution-focused techniques when a clearer plan or fresh perspective is helpful. That can mean reworking a story someone tells about themselves or identifying small, practical changes that add up. Lauren frames coaching and therapy as a teamwork process aimed at real-life results.

People looking for support with grief, caregiving stress, relationship shifts, midlife questions, or aging-related concerns often find her practical guidance useful. To begin, Lauren asks people to take a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects what matters most. This approach helps with stress, grief, and life transitions by centering the client's own goals and choices.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns. In practice it helps people notice their emotional responses, understand them, and try new ways of connecting or responding during difficult moments.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with caregiving stress by teaching short, practical techniques to steady attention.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands to choose or combine methods that fit the person. Clients work together with the therapist to test what helps and adjust the plan as needed.

Session formats supported by this therapist are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. It also lets people continue support when life changes, caregiving demands, or relocation make in-person meetings harder.
