About Lauren

Lauren Scupp is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She works with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and self-esteem problems. She also helps people facing career challenges, grief, trauma, addictions, and other life changes.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She offers a listening space where clients can say what they’re feeling and try new ways of responding. Lauren aims to give clear feedback and practical ideas rather than long lectures.

Background and approach

Lauren uses narrative approaches alongside client-centered techniques to help people reframe difficult stories they tell about themselves. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her.

She trained at Hofstra University, completing both undergraduate and master’s degrees there. Lauren’s clinical work spans typical mood and stress issues as well as more specific focuses like attachment, body image, codependency, and midlife concerns. Her background includes four years of post-qualification experience.

Therapy can look different depending on the concern - some people want skill-based tools, others prefer to talk through early life stories and meaning. Lauren helps decide which path fits each person’s goals and situation. She works with adults who want practical change and clearer self-understanding.

Online session options

How narrative and practical therapies work online

Lauren often combines Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative, more helpful narratives. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and following the person’s pace to build understanding and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete skills to change behaviors that maintain distress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide whether to focus on changing thoughts and behaviors, exploring personal stories, or practicing emotion regulation skills, and they adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation while phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, ongoing reflection, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to match session format to the client’s needs and schedule rather than forcing one single model.
