About Saudia

Saudia Garnette is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She brings five years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Her approach aims to be straightforward and supportive so people can speak openly and feel heard.

Saudia uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients make changes that matter day to day. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and on Motivational Interviewing to build commitment to change.

Background and approach

Mindfulness-based techniques are used to help people cope with stress and manage strong emotions. She also supports people dealing with grief and end-of-life matters, drawing on experience in hospice and end-of-life counseling to guide conversations that can be difficult. Saudia pays attention to what someone needs right now and adjusts what she offers to match those needs.

Sessions are designed to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Saudia works with each person to set clear, practical steps between meetings and checks in on progress. The overall aim is to leave sessions with tools that can be used outside the therapy room.

People meet with Saudia for short-term work on a specific problem or for longer-term support. She practices in English and provides services from her New York location.

Online support

How therapy approaches shape online care

Saudia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily routines. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and strengthens the personal motivation needed to take steps forward.

She also brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to help manage stress and strong emotions. These practices teach simple, moment-to-moment awareness skills that can reduce reactivity and improve focus during hard times.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Saudia will work with each person to understand goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then recommend and adapt techniques that fit. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face to face from anywhere, phone sessions work well when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
