Lauren Scogin , LICSW, LCSW

Lauren Scogin brings fifteen years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker to her practice in Vermont. Her background includes five years serving as a nursing home administrator, a role that developed her understanding of organizational leadership and the complex needs of older adults and their families. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials, reflecting licensure to provide clinical social work services.

Lauren supports people navigating life transitions, including grief and loss, career challenges, relationship difficulties, and changes related to aging and health. She also provides executive and professional coaching, helping clients clarify goals and build practical strategies for work and life. Her work with elders and caregivers focuses on health-related adjustments, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional impacts of caregiving.

Clients benefit from a holistic approach that values each person’s strengths and lived wisdom. Lauren creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients are invited to discover their own solutions. After relocating from the New England Seacoast to the Green Mountains, she continues to center compassion, practical support, and collaboration in her work with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lauren integrates client-centered therapy and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) alongside mindfulness practices to support clients in an online format. Client-centered therapy centers on the client’s perspective, offering empathy and reflective listening to help people explore values, choices, and personal strengths - it is useful for stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. EFT focuses on emotions and attachment patterns, helping individuals and couples understand and shift relational dynamics and process grief or relational distress. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-moment awareness and practical techniques to manage anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress by cultivating nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lauren works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time, combining elements from different approaches as appropriate to support practical change and emotional understanding.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for those who cannot travel. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, fit therapy into daily life, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
