About Saul
Saul Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 3 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, and issues related to identity and addiction. Saul speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
He uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Saul relies on client-centered work to understand what matters most to each person. He pairs that with cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of his approach when people are weighing change or feeling stuck.
Saul’s background includes work with foster care and adoption-related concerns, fatherhood issues, immigration challenges, and workplace and young adult stressors. He aims to help people make clearer decisions and build stronger supports around them. That includes addressing grief, compulsive or impulsive behaviors, and compassion fatigue for those in caregiving roles.
Sessions focus on everyday problems and steps that can be tried between meetings. Conversations are practical - naming a problem, testing a small change, then checking what worked. Saul also helps people clarify life purpose, manage bipolar symptoms alongside other supports, and handle intimacy-related or anger issues.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process. People who want direct, action-oriented work that still listens to their priorities may find his style useful.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Saul uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s concerns and priorities. That approach centers the conversation on what the client wants to address and helps shape practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify thinking patterns that get in the way and practice small behavioral changes to feel better. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are uncertain about change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Saul will talk with clients about their goals, try techniques, and adjust as they learn what helps. The plan evolves based on what a person needs and prefers, and the therapist encourages regular check-ins about fit and progress.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how a meeting will be held. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions when someone prefers not to use video or needs a quick phone check-in. Practical scheduling and how sessions are run should be clarified up front.
