About Lauren
Lauren Scogin is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Vermont as a LICSW and in Maine as an LCSW and works with adults facing life transitions, grief, stress, and career concerns.
She spent five years as a nursing home administrator, which gave her practical skills in healthcare leadership and organizational management. That background informs her support for elders and the people caring for them, especially around health changes, hospice and end-of-life matters, and caregiver stress.
Lauren combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered and narrative approaches. In sessions she focuses on naming emotions, noticing patterns, and finding small, practical steps clients can use between meetings. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, and difficult life changes.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including grief, postpartum depression, mood disorders, attachment issues, and the effects of trauma. She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, first responder stress, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters.
Lauren describes some clinical work as coaching and offers support for career shifts, professional stress, and life purpose questions. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule an initial session through the online options button.
Sessions are offered in English and she is based in Vermont. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How EFT and client-centered work translate to online sessions
Lauren combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered and mindfulness approaches in a practical way. EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the interaction patterns that keep people stuck; it can help when strong feelings are hard to name or when behavior keeps repeating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead to clarify goals and next steps. Mindfulness therapy offers tools for noticing thoughts and bodily reactions to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can shift when needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is difficult, or reduce travel time. Many people find that working from a quieter space at home or during a break from work helps maintain consistency. Check the listing's session options to see which formats are offered and to schedule an initial appointment.
