About Saudia
Saudia Garnette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns, and also addresses stress, grief, addictions, anger, and self-esteem. Saudia also has work related to hospice and end-of-life counseling.
Saudia uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques to support change and coping.
Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and solution-minded. Saudia helps clients set concrete steps to test different ways of thinking and acting. Conversations look at what is getting in the way now and what small changes could help over the coming weeks.
She frames problems in everyday terms and focuses on skills people can use between sessions. Work might include short behavioral experiments, skill practice, or using mindful attention to manage strong feelings. For people facing end-of-life issues, she pays attention to practical concerns and emotional processing.
Saudia offers therapy in English and practices as an LCSW in New York. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options so they fit your routine.
How her approaches translate to online work
Saudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT in online sessions often includes setting specific goals, reviewing short behavioral experiments, and practicing skills between meetings. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach focused attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Saudia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative - clients and therapist decide together what to focus on and how to measure small steps of progress.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches translate well to shorter or camera-off sessions, while others use worksheets and between-session practice that fit into daily life. Ask about the available formats and scheduling when you complete the questionnaire so sessions align with your routine.
