Can I counter Essence Scatter, or any couterspell that target one of my creature on the stack with Siren Stormtamer ?

No, unfortunately this won't work. When an effect uses the name of a permanent type without also saying something like "spell" or "card in (a zone)", then it just means a permanent of that type on the battlefield. Siren Stormtamer can only protect your creatures on the battlefield, not creature spells on the stack.
