    Saudia Garnette is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and related stresses. Her style is practical and goal-oriented, aimed at making changes people can use day to day.

    She draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters most to each person and support small, sustainable shifts.

    Saudia also supports people facing grief and end-of-life concerns, including hospice and end-of-life counseling. She offers straightforward guidance for navigating loss and the decisions that come with it. She pays attention to emotions and to practical needs both.

    Her background includes five years working as a psychotherapist in the New York area. Saudia emphasizes a nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can speak honestly about what is hard. She works collaboratively to set clear goals and track progress over time.

    Sessions focus on steps that fit each person's life. Saudia helps people set achievable goals, practice new skills between sessions, and adjust plans when obstacles come up. The approach is direct, supportive, and aimed at steady practical change.

  2. How these approaches work for online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people clarify what matters and build motivation for change. It fits well when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps and wants to move forward at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often involves homework between sessions to practice skills that reduce anxiety or low mood.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust those choices as progress is made.

    Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for quick check-ins when needed. It can also support steady work on skills between appointments and make it simpler to involve relevant paperwork or resources during a session.
