Ruth Auguste, LCSW

Ruth Auguste is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with eight years of practice. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or shifts in life circumstances. Ruth focuses on clear, practical conversation that helps people find steadier ground.

She sees people facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and workplace strain. Midlife crisis, body image, guilt and shame, and communication problems are also areas she addresses. Ruth adapts sessions to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Ruth draws from several evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness-based work. She also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of their stories and reactions. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with a focus on what will help day to day.

Sessions are built around respectful listening and practical steps. Ruth aims to help clients notice patterns, try small changes, and build on successes. She frames therapy as a partnership where goals and methods are decided together.

People considering therapy are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Ruth works in English and accepts international clients, and she uses a subscription model for session fees that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

Ruth uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can help with stress and emotional regulation.

She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns from their life stories and relationships. These approaches aim to make difficult experiences make more sense and to open up new ways of responding. Choosing which methods to use is a collaborative process where goals and preferences guide the plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and let people join sessions from different locations. Ruth will work with each person to decide what approach and session rhythm best match their needs and goals.
