About Lauren
Lauren Scogin is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She is licensed in Vermont and Maine and works with people facing life transitions, grief, career challenges, and relationship strain. Lauren also offers executive and professional coaching and supports concerns related to aging and caregiving.
Before focusing on therapy, she spent five years as a nursing home administrator. That role added hands-on experience in healthcare management and leadership. It also shaped how she understands the practical pressures people face when health or caregiving become central to life.
In sessions she draws on client-centered work and emotion-focused methods to help people untangle upsetting patterns. She uses mindfulness and narrative approaches to slow down strong feelings and reframe difficult stories. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, doable steps when someone feels stuck.
Lauren often helps with grief, adjustment after loss, postpartum and mood concerns, and the strain that comes with caregiving or hospice decisions. She also supports people dealing with midlife questions, career pauses, and finding life purpose after major changes. Her experience includes work with elders and families facing health-related transitions.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She encourages clients to notice what matters, try small changes, and reflect on what is working. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approach options and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps people clarify their priorities and make decisions that match their values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how feelings and interactions shape patterns in relationships and personal reactions. It can help with grief, relationship strain, and managing intense emotions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without immediately reacting, which can reduce overwhelm and improve focus.Lauren treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide which combination of approaches to try and adjust methods as needed over time.
