About Saidah
Saidah Foree is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Saidah also supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and panic symptoms.
Saidah uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people sort through tangled feelings. Work often centers on identifying thoughts and patterns that keep someone stuck, then testing small changes in everyday life.
Her approach adapts to each person’s needs while staying focused on clear goals. Sessions can include role-play for communication, strategies to manage intense reactions, and techniques to reduce worry and panic. She pays attention to how beliefs about oneself or past events feed shame and guilt, and she helps people name those patterns.
Saidah’s style is direct and respectful. She aims to make things easier to understand so people can try new ways of coping. She explains options and helps decide what to try next, rather than handing down a single plan.
Many people come to address a single problem like panic or a breakup, while others bring stubborn, ongoing guilt or low self-worth. Saidah’s work focuses on practical skills, clearer communication, and steady steps toward feeling more like oneself again.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Cognitive-based methods look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach ways to challenge and change those thoughts. This can help with worry, shame, and persistent self-criticism.Behaviorally oriented techniques break problems into small, testable steps. For panic or avoidance, this might mean gradual exposure to feared situations or brief behavioral experiments to rebuild confidence. Communication work often uses role practice and clear scripting to try new ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what feels helpful. The client’s feedback guides which techniques are kept or changed.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they test new skills in their day-to-day lives.
