About Ruth

Ruth Auguste is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She practices from Florida and offers sessions in English. Ruth aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She prefers a conversational style in sessions. Ruth listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try small, doable changes. She uses several evidence-based methods and adapts them to each person’s needs rather than following a single recipe.

Background and approach

Ruth often focuses on concrete skills for coping with strong feelings and daily pressure. She also helps people rebuild self-esteem, work through guilt or shame, and handle life transitions. When trauma is part of the picture, she blends supportive talk with strategies to reduce distress.

Her work touches on body image, communication problems, forgiveness, and workplace stress. She supports women dealing with midlife shifts as well as people facing mood disorders or post-traumatic stress. Sessions aim to be respectful, straightforward, and paced to each client’s comfort.

Ruth encourages clients to set clear goals and measures progress along the way. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where both client and therapist shape the plan. The overall aim is more calm, clearer thinking, and better daily functioning.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Ruth draws from cognitive behavioral techniques that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to feel better. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood because it focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that shape reactions and relationships. Talking through those patterns can help make sense of repeated struggles and open the way for new choices. Mindfulness-based practices are included as well to build skills for managing intense feelings and staying grounded in the moment.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ruth collaborates with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. That planning is revisited as therapy progresses so methods can shift when needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you see face-to-face cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat can be good for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or other commitments.
