About Saul
Saul Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside relationship and stress-related issues. He speaks English and Spanish and works with people who are dealing with grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, and changes in life circumstances. Saul aims to make the process clear and practical for worried parents and caregivers.
Saul draws on approaches that help people make concrete decisions and build stronger supports. He uses client-centered work to listen closely to each person's priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to untangle thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone faces tough choices or needs a push toward change.
Earlier in his career Saul spent many years as a caseworker and then as a social worker supporting youth in foster care. That background shaped how he thinks about strengthening networks of support and practical steps that help families stay together when possible. He emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's lived experience.
In sessions Saul focuses on problem-solving and on strategies that people can use between meetings. He pays attention to parenting stress, fatherhood issues, and challenges linked to adoption, immigration, and workplace strain. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping skills for compassion fatigue.
Saul has three years of clinical experience as an LCSW in New York and accepts international clients. He invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change, then works alongside them to set manageable goals and strengthen supports.
How Saul’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy means sessions start with what matters to the client. The therapist listens and shapes goals around the person's priorities, which helps when parenting choices or family conflict feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits that cause distress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when someone feels stuck about decisions like substance use, parenting routines, or major life moves.
Finding the right mix of methods is a team effort. Saul will work with the client to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides how sessions are planned and what homework or practices are suggested between meetings.
Check which session formats Saul offers before booking to confirm logistics. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to include bilingual support in English or Spanish, depending on the client's needs.
