About Saul

Saul Martinez helps people who are juggling relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, or anxiety. He speaks English and Spanish and works with adults facing life changes, addiction concerns, or questions about identity and intimacy. Saul is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - based in New York and brings a practical, hands-on style to sessions.

He uses clear goals and straightforward steps to help people make decisions that feel right for them.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on building supports that last. Saul draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Saul also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen motivation when change feels hard.

He aims to build a collaborative relationship so people feel heard and guided rather than lectured. Treatment plans are shaped around daily life and real choices. Before practicing as an LCSW he worked as a caseworker, including work with foster care and reunification efforts.

That background informs his focus on supports, fatherhood issues, and adoption or foster care concerns. Saul names workplace stress, young adult challenges, immigration issues, and compassion fatigue among areas he often addresses. Sessions are offered in several formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Saul frames therapy as a team effort and helps clients find practical steps they can try between sessions.

How Saul’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy

Saul uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities, focusing on listening and understanding what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to sort out feelings before taking action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT techniques are easy to practice between sessions and work well for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns where skill practice makes a difference.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change by strengthening their own reasons for moving forward. It is useful for addiction issues, impulsivity, or when someone is weighing different life choices.

Saul treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. He will listen to a client’s goals and try one method or combine elements until the best fit emerges. Clients help set the pace and decide what to focus on during online visits.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video sessions let the therapist and client use visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to keep momentum between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
