Ruth Auguste

Ruth Auguste is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or shifts in life. Ruth also addresses trauma, self-esteem struggles, and concerns many women face around body image and self-love.

Ruth uses a mix of widely used therapeutic approaches to fit each person she sees. Sessions center on clear conversation and practical steps you can try between meetings. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can speak honestly about what is hard.

Her style balances looking at current habits and thinking patterns with attention to personal history and the stories people tell about themselves. That can mean learning new ways to manage moods, working through past hurts, and building stronger communication skills for work and relationships.

Ruth helps people process feelings like guilt, shame, and forgiveness at a steady pace. She supports those navigating midlife change or workplace stress and those coping after traumatic events. Her approach is tailored to each person's goals and pace.

To get started, she asks questions to understand what matters most to you and then builds a plan together. The focus is on realistic, manageable steps that move toward a more satisfying day-to-day life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Ruth draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in straightforward ways. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Narrative-informed work looks at the stories a person tells about themselves and helps rewrite those narratives to support self-worth and self-love.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ruth will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then together you will decide which techniques to try and how fast to move.

The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into a workday or travel day, reduce commute time, and allow check-ins when life gets busy. It can also let someone choose sessions that match their energy level that day, such as a shorter phone check-in or a longer video conversation, depending on what the therapist and client agree on.
