About Augusta

Augusta Wellington is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 30 years of practice in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with divorce and separation, attachment and abandonment concerns, and feelings of isolation or shame.

Her work draws on psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on patterns, emotions, and past experiences that shape present behavior. Sessions are conversational and geared toward understanding recurring relationship patterns and emotional responses. Augusta aims to help people gain clearer self-awareness and better choices in relationships and daily life.

Clients can expect a reflective approach that pays attention to feelings that show up in the room. Therapy often involves looking at underlying dynamics rather than only solving immediate problems. Augusta uses what emerges in conversation to guide insight and forward movement.

Her background includes formal psychoanalytic study at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research and longstanding clinical practice. She holds the credential LCSW-R, which indicates licensure as a clinical social worker in New York.

Augusta accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. If you are considering therapy, she asks that you complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability so you can begin exploring next steps together.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on recurring emotional patterns and relationships. It helps people notice how past experiences influence present feelings and behavior, particularly in intimate or stressful situations. Sessions typically involve reflective conversation about feelings, memories, and relationship patterns.

Psychodynamic work also pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes. That makes it useful for people navigating separation, trust issues, or repeated relationship conflicts. The therapist listens for what keeps coming up and uses that material to guide understanding and change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust the focus and pace so the work matches the person's life and priorities.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt psychodynamic conversations to remote work while keeping the focus on feelings, patterns, and progress.
