About Augusta
Augusta Wellington is a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with individuals facing relationship and intimacy-related difficulties and supports those dealing with attachment, abandonment, and social anxiety. Her approach centers on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating and helping clients make different choices in daily life.
In sessions she listens for the stories people bring and the feelings behind them.
Background and approach
She draws on psychodynamic ideas to help uncover how past relationships shape present reactions. Conversations are paced to what feels manageable, with space to notice emotion and rethink old habits. Augusta also addresses issues like guilt, shame, isolation, and midlife transitions.
She offers a compassionate environment for exploring sexuality, self-love, and concerns tied to divorce or separation. She helps people untangle complicated dynamics influenced by narcissism or trauma histories. Her practice includes work on communication problems and improving intimacy skills.
Over time she helps clients spot recurring patterns and try new ways of relating. Augusta explains ideas plainly and focuses on what will change day-to-day life. Based in New York, she holds the LCSW-R credential, which indicates clinical social work licensure in the state.
Sessions are offered in English and are tailored to each person’s goals and pace.
Psychodynamic work online and flexible session options
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier relationships and life events shape current feelings and patterns. It often focuses on recurring themes in how people relate and helps bring those patterns into awareness so different choices become possible. This approach can be useful for anxiety, relationship difficulties, shame, and long-standing mood concerns.Augusta uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that show up in the therapy relationship itself and in daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work together - she will help clients decide whether focusing on past patterns, tackling practical behavior changes, or a mix of both fits their goals. Decisions about pace and focus are made collaboratively based on what the person needs and prefers.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a conversation that resembles an in-person session, while phone sessions require less bandwidth. Shorter check-ins work well by text or chat, and messaging can help people process between live meetings. These formats make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and different time zones.
