About Lauren
Lauren Scupp is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, career shifts, anger, bipolar concerns, and intimacy-related struggles.
Lauren aims to offer a clear, calm presence where people can talk through what feels hard right now. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens closely and gives direct, practical feedback.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding both thoughts and bodily reactions to stress. Lauren combines talking and simple skills practice to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. She uses somatic approaches alongside client-centered work and cognitive behavior techniques.
That means attention to body sensations, to personal goals, and to the thoughts that keep people stuck. She may also draw on mindfulness and DBT skills when those fit a person’s needs. Lauren trained at Hofstra University and has four years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns.
Her license is NY LMHC 011690 and she practices from New York. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients. Therapy with Lauren happens online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
People sign up via a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How somatic and skills-based approaches translate to online therapy
Somatic work pays attention to body sensations and how the body holds stress. Online sessions can include guided attention to breathing, posture, and gentle movement to help people notice and shift those sensations. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and putting the person’s goals first; in online sessions this looks like slow, attentive conversation that centers the person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments; remotely this can include worksheets, thought records, and homework that fits daily routines.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try different approaches together. That collaborative process helps tailor the plan so it feels practical and usable for everyday life.
Online therapy via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video lets you use visual and bodily cues, phone can be simpler on low-bandwidth days, and chat or text supports short check-ins and between-session reflection. These options increase flexibility and can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy.
