About Lauren
Lauren Scogin is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on 15 years of practice to help people navigate major life changes. She holds a Vermont LICSW and a Maine LCSW and uses a down-to-earth style to talk through grief, stress, anxiety, and shifts in work or relationships.
She spent five years as a nursing home administrator, which gave her hands-on experience with healthcare leadership and the challenges elders and caregivers face. That background informs how she supports people dealing with aging, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and caregiver strain.
Lauren takes a collaborative, client-centered approach. She looks for each person’s strengths and builds on what already works. Sessions often focus on clearer thinking about life purpose, practical steps to ease overwhelm, and ways to rebuild self-esteem after loss or change.
Her practice also addresses career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues first responders may face. She works with people coping with traumatic events and post-traumatic stress, including coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Lauren aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be shared. She offers coaching-style support when clients want focused, goal-oriented work. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work through strong emotions in the moment and can be helpful when relationships or attachment issues are involved. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce stress and ground a person during difficult days.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new issues arise.
