About Augusta
Augusta Wellington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, depression, and guilt and shame. Her practice also addresses abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, and women's issues.
She draws on psychodynamic therapy as a primary approach. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings that linger from the past. Conversations aim to make sense of how early experiences shape current reactions and choices.
Augusta uses talk-based methods to help people notice recurring themes in their life. She pays attention to how emotions surface in the room and what those emotions point to about past hurts or needs. Her work often uncovers links between present worries and earlier relationships.
She has training in psychoanalysis from the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research and is a Fellow of the International Psychoanalytic Association. Her clinical background includes long experience with psychodynamic work and related clinical settings across adult care.
Sessions move at a reflective pace. People meet to talk through what matters to them, to name painful feelings, and to consider different ways of responding in daily life. Those interested in starting are asked to use the site matching steps to arrange an initial appointment and select a plan.
Psychodynamic approaches and online work
Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time. It helps people link current feelings like guilt or shame to earlier relationships and events. Sessions are usually talk-focused and aim to make these patterns clearer so people can choose different responses.Some practitioners trained in psychoanalytic methods also use insight-oriented conversation to uncover unconscious expectations that affect relationships and self-image. This kind of work can be useful when someone wants to understand why they react a certain way in close relationships or struggle with persistent shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That shared planning helps decide whether psychodynamic conversations or another method fits best for a person's concerns.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or between errands. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when intensity needs to be reduced. Many licensed professionals and therapists use online sessions to make regular meetings more practical for everyday schedules.
