About Lauren
Lauren Scupp is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, career stress, and anger. Sessions are meant to be direct and collaborative while exploring practical steps forward.
Lauren uses clear, straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep people stuck. She asks concrete questions and helps clients try different ways of responding to upsetting situations. That can include noticing thoughts that fuel anger, practicing new communication moves, or building short routines to ease anxiety.
Her methods draw on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she mixes listening with specific exercises clients can use between meetings. The goal is to change what happens day to day, not only to talk about it.
Lauren trained at Hofstra University for both undergraduate and master’s degrees and holds the New York LMHC credential. Over four years she has worked with people facing substance use, grief, trauma, body image concerns, and struggles around life transitions. She helps clients break down problems into manageable steps and practice them in real life.
People describe her style as straightforward and collaborative; she offers clear feedback and practical tools. If someone wants to address anger, resentment at work, or the stress that builds in close relationships, Lauren focuses on skills that can be used right away.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood before trying new strategies. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Lauren will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's needs and preferences. That may mean starting with skills from CBT, adding DBT techniques for managing intense moments, and using motivational interviewing when someone is weighing change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule meetings around work or family obligations, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice breathing or grounding exercises between appointments when sessions fit into their day more easily.
