About Saul
Saul Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, addiction, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and he accepts international clients.
Saul uses clear, practical steps rather than long theory talks. He draws on client-centered methods to listen and understand what matters most. He also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and Motivational Interviewing to support stronger, realistic choices.
In practice he focuses on what people can do next. That might mean setting small action steps after a session, trying a change in how someone talks to themselves, or identifying supports in their life. He often works with people coping with family problems, fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care concerns, immigration stress, workplace friction, and young adult transitions.
Saul’s background includes work with youth in foster care and casework roles where he supported reunification efforts and built support networks around families. That history shapes how he helps adults now - attending to relationships and practical supports as part of recovery and planning.
People who feel stuck after a life change or who want clearer direction about work, parenting, or relationships often find his sessions focused and action oriented. To begin, the site’s matching process is used to schedule an initial session.
How Saul’s approaches translate to online sessions
Saul uses client-centered work to focus on what matters to the person in front of him. That means starting by listening and clarifying goals so each session addresses immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps by identifying patterns of thought and trying concrete alternatives; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment to small, achievable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Saul will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts plans together with the client as issues evolve and progress is tracked through concrete actions and check-ins.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use this flexibility to support people juggling work, parenting, or health changes without promising a specific outcome.
