About Lauren

Lauren Scogin is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience who blends Internal Family Systems with client-centered and mindfulness-informed work to support people through transitions and difficult emotions.

Background and approach

She brings a practical, holistic perspective that emphasizes clients' own resilience and inner resources, helping them clarify values, manage stress, and rebuild confidence after losses or life shifts. Lauren's background includes five years as a nursing home administrator, which contributed leadership and organizational insight relevant to healthcare and elder support.

Licensed in Vermont and Maine as an LICSW and LCSW, Lauren practices from the Green Mountains after relocating from the New England Seacoast. Her practice focuses on grief, coping with life changes, anxiety and depression, compassion fatigue, relationship challenges, career concerns, and coaching for professionals.

She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum and mood concerns, trauma-related struggles, and other adjustment difficulties. Lauren aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients explore feelings and build practical coping strategies at their own pace.

Integrating therapeutic approaches through online care

Lauren often combines Internal Family Systems with client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to help people explore inner parts, clarify relational patterns, and reconnect with values. Internal Family Systems frames difficult feelings as parts of a person's internal system that can be understood and invited into dialogue, which can be helpful for anxiety, grief, and self-esteem work. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's own goals and experience, offering empathic listening and collaboration to build trust and self-directed growth. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and shift core emotional responses in relational and attachment-related concerns, supporting clearer communication and emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Lauren works with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and she adjusts the focus as therapy evolves to better meet changing needs.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it practical to integrate these approaches into everyday life. The variety of formats supports flexible scheduling, maintenance between sessions, and easier access for clients balancing work, caregiving, or health demands. Licensed professionals can tailor pace and tools so clients can engage in meaningful therapeutic work from wherever they are.
