About Lauren
Lauren Scupp is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with four years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, career questions, substance use, grief, trauma and other life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical problem-solving and clear communication.
She uses straightforward, collaborative work in sessions. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying small experiments, and adjusting what is or is not helping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses alongside client-centered methods and skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness.
Lauren aims to give an outside perspective while keeping discussions direct and honest. She helps people break problems down into manageable steps and build coping skills for difficult moments. She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, attachment concerns, and guilt or shame.
Her background includes an undergraduate and master’s degree from Hofstra University and a practice based in New York. The LMHC credential indicates state licensure to provide mental health counseling in New York.
In sessions she emphasizes practical tools such as behavior experiments, emotion regulation skills, and clear goal setting. People who prefer organized, actionable work on thoughts, behavior, and everyday routines will find this approach straightforward and focused.
How Lauren’s approaches translate to online work
Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and test out new responses. CBT focuses on concrete skills like planning behavior experiments, tracking thoughts, and practicing alternative actions to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.She also draws on client-centered ideas that prioritize the person’s goals and pace, offering straightforward feedback and collaboration. Dialectical Behavior Therapy informed skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are relevant, giving short practical tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to pick which method or mix of methods matches their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking progress and changing plans if something is not helpful.
