About Saudia
Saudia Garnette is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her practice on practical, evidence-informed interventions to address depression, anxiety, grief, and issues around relationships and self-esteem.
Background and approach
With five years of professional experience in the New York area, she emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary tool to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more adaptive coping skills. Her work also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness Therapy to foster readiness for change and greater present-moment awareness.
Garnette brings an outcome-oriented, solution-focused stance to sessions while maintaining an empathetic, nonjudgmental atmosphere. She has additional experience providing hospice and end-of-life counseling, which informs her approach to grief and complex emotional transitions.
Clients can expect a collaborative process in which goals are clarified and practical strategies are practiced between meetings. Saudia holds an LCSW and conducts sessions in English from her New York practice.
Her experience includes supporting people facing stress, addiction concerns, anger, and other mood-related challenges, with interventions tailored to each person’s situation and preferences.
Online approaches that build skills and resilience
Saudia frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to depression, anxiety, and stress; CBT focuses on practical strategies and homework practice that can be applied between sessions. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to support grounding, present-moment awareness, and emotional regulation, which can be especially helpful for managing grief, anger, and persistent stress.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try specific techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than prescribing a single path from the outset.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life or mobility makes in-person visits difficult, and they allow practical tools and exercises to be integrated into day-to-day routines through regular contact.
