About Saidah
Saidah Foree is an Ohio-licensed social worker, LISW, with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Her work also addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Saidah prefers straightforward conversation. She listens to the immediate concerns and helps people break them into manageable steps. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach adapts to the person in front of her. That means talking through reactions, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing new responses. She balances conversation with concrete strategies you can use between sessions to address anxiety, panic episodes, or relationship conflicts.
Saidah draws on a broad set of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She works with people on rebuilding confidence after difficult life events, on handling anger more effectively, and on putting structure around goals tied to work, relationships, or personal meaning.
People who reach out are guided through a clear first step: a short intake and a plan for follow-up work. Saidah explains options and helps set achievable goals for therapy. If you want to explore purpose or find clearer direction after a life change, she can help you take the next practical steps.
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Saidah draws on well-established, evidence-based techniques to address common problems. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, panic, and low mood. Work in this area focuses on noticing thoughts, testing them against reality, and trying new, more helpful behaviors.She also uses skills-based work for emotion and anger regulation. That includes learning breathing and grounding practices, building tolerances for distressing feelings, and rehearsing alternative responses to conflict or panic. These techniques are intended to reduce immediate symptoms and make everyday reactions easier to manage.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review current problems, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the work stays relevant to what matters to the client.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can still teach the same evidence-based skills through remote sessions, and Saidah will help identify the best way to work together based on your goals and day-to-day constraints.
