About Augusta

Augusta Wellington is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and intimacy or relationship concerns. She practices in New York and offers therapy in English. Her work often focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation.

Augusta uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand patterns that affect their emotions and relationships. Sessions are aimed at uncovering how past experiences shape present reactions so clients can make different choices.

02

How Augusta works

She explains things plainly and encourages honest conversation about difficult feelings. Her background includes long training in psychoanalytic work and a broad clinical history across mental health settings. That experience informs how she listens for repeated themes and relational patterns that keep people stuck.

She draws on that knowledge to tailor sessions to each persons needs. In the room she focuses on building a steady working relationship. Conversations move between whats happening now and earlier life events that still influence behavior.

This gives people a clearer view of why they get stuck and how to try something different. Augusta also addresses practical life stresses such as divorce and separation, midlife changes, and workplace or social anxiety. She is comfortable discussing sexuality, self-love, and womens issues in straightforward terms that respect the clients pace and limits.

Online support options

Psychodynamic care available online

Psychodynamic therapy helps people notice patterns in feelings and relationships that repeat over time. Sessions focus on how past experiences shape present reactions, which can help with depression, anxiety, intimacy struggles, and attachment concerns.

Augusta brings psychoanalytic-informed listening to online work, using conversation to uncover recurring themes and emotional habits. She aims to make sense of what gets in the way of changing long-standing patterns and to support small, workable shifts in daily life.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the way sessions are held to fit each persons needs. Together they decide how psychodynamic work can be blended with practical strategies when helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more of a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can require less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break during the day. Chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between appointments, offering flexibility for different schedules and energy levels.
