About Saul
Saul Martinez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage strong emotions and rebuild relationships. He works with adults who are dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and challenges tied to family or parenting. Saul speaks English and Spanish and practices from New York.
Saul draws on client-centered work to make sessions focused on each person's goals. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help people spot patterns that keep them stuck and to try different behaviors.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change. Before becoming a clinician Saul worked as a caseworker and later as a social worker supporting youth in foster care. That background shaped his interest in family problems, adoption and foster care, fatherhood issues, and immigration-related stress.
He brings three years of clinical experience as an LCSW in New York to his practice. In sessions Saul takes a practical, collaborative tone. He helps people set small, doable steps and tests what works in everyday life.
He also helps people think through workplace stress, life purpose, impulsivity, and the strains that can come with caregiving and compassion fatigue. People can expect straightforward conversations about behavior, feelings, and choices. Saul aims to build stronger support networks and clearer plans for moving forward.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How Saul’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies goals, and adjusts pace to what feels right for each session.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to spot thoughts and habits that feed anger or anxiety and to try different actions. Reminders, worksheets, and brief behavioral experiments can be assigned between sessions and discussed over video or text to track progress.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels uncertain about change. The therapist asks open questions, reflects what the person says, and helps build a clear case for small, doable steps toward goals.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Saul will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, adapting as goals evolve. That conversation happens early and is revisited regularly to keep treatment useful and manageable.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat allows short check-ins, and text messaging can keep momentum between meetings. These options offer flexibility so people can pick what works for their schedule and comfort.
