About Ruth
Ruth Auguste is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues with self-esteem. Ruth aims to offer calm, respectful care and to meet people where they are in their lives.
Ruth tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs. She uses a mix of approaches to help people make sense of their thoughts and feelings.
How Ruth works
Sessions may include practical skills for managing stress and anxiety, as well as deeper work on past hurt and relationship patterns. Her work also addresses body image concerns, guilt and shame, and workplace stress. She pays attention to how people tell their life stories and how those stories shape current struggles.
That can open a path toward forgiveness, self-love, and steadier mood regulation. Ruth incorporates techniques from cognitive-behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thinking. She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to explore meaning and long-standing patterns.
Mindfulness practices are available for people who want concrete ways to reduce reactivity. Sessions are offered in English and Ruth accepts international clients. She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and offers support throughout the process.

Evidence-based approaches for online healing
Ruth draws on several evidence-based techniques to address stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors; they are useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories to reduce shame and improve self-worth. Mindfulness-based strategies teach simple attention and breathing skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.Finding the right approach happens together. Ruth will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helping and what feels workable for the person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when people want face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and life changes.
