Augusta Wellington , LCSW-R

Augusta Wellington is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) based in New York with three decades of experience. She focuses on women's issues alongside concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related struggles.

Her approach centers on talking through patterns that keep people stuck and understanding how past relationships shape present choices. Sessions often look at attachment wounds, feelings of abandonment, and recurring difficulties with communication. She uses a psychodynamic framework to bring those patterns into the conversation.

Augusta draws on long experience helping people navigate divorce and separation, midlife transitions, and challenges such as guilt, shame, isolation, and social anxiety. She also addresses issues around sexuality, narcissism, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorders in straightforward terms. Conversations aim to surface what lies beneath symptoms so clients can make clearer choices.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Sessions combine reflection about past experiences with practical discussion of current situations. Clients leave with clearer understanding of their reactions and ideas for small changes to try between meetings.

Her background includes extensive clinical work in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic settings. The LCSW-R credential indicates licensure in New York. She offers both short-term problem-focused work and longer-term insight-oriented therapy depending on what a person wants.

Psychodynamic Work and Online Options

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and behavior. It helps when someone wants to understand repeated patterns in relationships, intimacy, or self-worth and is useful for issues like abandonment, attachment problems, and ongoing mood concerns.

The therapist treats the choice of approach as collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try ways of working that suit their needs. Adjustments are made over time so the approach fits the client's goals and day-to-day life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
