About Lauren

Lauren Scupp is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who works with people facing a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, substance use, self-esteem problems, career challenges, trauma, grief, and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

She also brings attention to related struggles such as body image, codependency, attachment wounds, isolation, and life transitions. With four years of clinical experience, she helps clients navigate both acute concerns and longer-term patterns that interfere with wellbeing.

Her style emphasizes collaboration, directness, and empathetic listening; she aims to offer clear feedback while creating space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. Lauren integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional regulation.

She invites clients to see therapy as a partnership focused on practical skills and insight building, supporting goals that range from symptom relief to improved communication and a stronger sense of purpose. Sessions are offered through various online formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Prospective clients in New York who communicate in English can begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns because it combines practical strategies with goal-focused work. She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathetic, nonjudgmental listening and supports clients in finding their own solutions by validating personal experience and fostering self-directed growth. Additionally, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills when those areas are relevant to a client's goals.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process, and Lauren collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She frames therapy as a partnership and will adjust techniques over time based on what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and maintain continuity during transitions. These options increase accessibility and flexibility, allowing clients to engage in skill practice, check-ins, and deeper work in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
