About Saudia
Saudia Garnette is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Her background also includes hospice and end-of-life counseling.
Saudia favors practical, evidence-informed approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method principles for relationship work, mindfulness techniques, and Motivational Interviewing to support change. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning skills, and trying out new ways of responding to difficult emotions.
In sessions she helps people notice thought and behavior patterns that feed anger and frustration. She offers tools to manage intense moments, reduce resentment buildup, and communicate needs more directly. People leave with specific strategies to practice between meetings, not only ideas to think about.
Her hospice and end-of-life experience informs work with grief and difficult transitions. That background shapes how she talks about loss, pacing, and practical concerns as well as feelings. It also informs how she supports people making decisions under stress.
Saudia uses a direct, solution-focused style that still makes room for slower conversations. She encourages small experiments that test whether a new approach fits. To start, readers should confirm the current session options before booking and follow the booking steps provided on the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Saudia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to test what helps in daily life.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness aims to increase awareness of physical signs of anger so a person can choose a different response.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Saudia will talk through goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on how the client responds. That collaborative process helps match strategies to the client’s preferences and the problems they bring.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins around work or caregiving responsibilities. If a client prefers shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings because of bandwidth or a noisy environment, mention that when scheduling so options can be discussed.
