About Lauren
Lauren Scupp is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem problems, substance use, career concerns, grief, trauma and other life changes. Lauren lists family and parenting among her focus areas and also addresses intimacy, eating concerns, anger, bipolar symptoms, and issues around abandonment and attachment.
She takes a direct and collaborative style in sessions. Lauren aims to be straightforward and honest while helping people clarify what they want to change. Conversations are practical and focused on specific problems, not on jargon or long explanations.
Her practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing are used when helpful to build awareness and strengthen motivation for change.
Lauren describes herself as part of a person's support circle who offers an outside perspective and respectful feedback. She works with people to set realistic goals and try specific strategies between sessions. People often come for help with communication problems, codependency, body image, loneliness, midlife concerns, and coping during caregiving or aging challenges.
Sessions are conducted in English and Lauren practices from New York. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session so they can begin working on the issues that brought them in.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Lauren often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practicing different ways of thinking and acting. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and career-related stress. DBT skills teach practical techniques for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and build a working relationship. Finding the right approach is a shared process; she will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative effort where methods are chosen to match the person's needs and preferences.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. When considering virtual work, think about what timing and session length will fit your routine and discuss those preferences during the first scheduling step.
