About Lauren
Lauren Scupp is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, substance use, career issues, grief, trauma and related challenges such as codependency and attachment issues. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps rather than jargon.
Lauren uses a direct, collaborative style. She helps people talk through what isn’t working and identify small, manageable changes. She leans on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to guide conversations and skill-building.
In sessions she aims to give clear feedback and an outside perspective on patterns that get people stuck. That might include noticing people-pleasing habits, difficulty saying no, or ways emotion gets handled during conflict. She works with clients to set concrete goals and practice new responses between meetings.
Her background includes undergraduate and master’s degrees from Hofstra University and clinical work that spans mood concerns, addiction-related struggles, eating and body-image issues, anger, and coping with life transitions. The LMHC credential denotes licensure to practice as a mental health counselor in New York.
Lauren asks clients to be active in the process. Therapy often combines talking, skill coaching, and short exercises to try outside sessions. Her focus is on realistic changes people can use in everyday life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and priorities. It means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person seeking help. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to test and change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more effectively.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lauren will discuss these options with clients and help decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day realities. That choice can change over time as progress and priorities shift.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between commitments. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills practice or worksheet-style homework that translates well to a virtual meeting. Confirm available formats when you schedule so you know how a session will be delivered.
