Ruth Auguste, LCSW

Ruth Auguste is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings eight years of experience helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and trauma and abuse. Ruth talks with each person to understand their situation and what matters most to them.

Ruth shapes sessions around practical conversation and clear goals. She uses tried approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people manage worrying thoughts and intense feelings. She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her work includes attention to issues such as body image, guilt and shame, workplace stress, and problems with communication. Ruth helps people cope with life changes and supports recovery from post-traumatic stress and mood disorders. She emphasizes kindness and respect throughout the process.

Ruth individualizes treatment plans rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She and the client decide together what to try and when to adjust the plan. Sessions are aimed at building skills, improving day-to-day functioning, and helping people feel more in control.

Getting started involves a short matching step and scheduling that fits the client's needs. Ruth aims to make the first steps straightforward for people who are ready to seek change.

Approaches that guide online care

Ruth commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based methods. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness-based approaches teach simple attention and breathing practices to lessen reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

She also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at life stories and repeated relationship patterns. Narrative work helps people reframe difficult experiences, while psychodynamic-informed conversation can reveal hidden patterns that affect current feelings and choices. Together these approaches give both short-term tools and deeper context for change.

Ruth treats choosing an approach as a shared decision. She will talk with each person about symptoms, life goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. If something isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and practical.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family commitments, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s day. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain regular progress while fitting treatment into everyday life.
