About Saul
Saul Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with three years of clinical experience. He works with people who are dealing with anger, relationship struggles, trauma, parenting strain, depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Saul speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Saul describes his style as practical and collaborative. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and make clearer decisions. Sessions focus on real-life choices rather than abstract theory.
He has background working with foster care populations and has supported reunification efforts and family stability in earlier roles. That experience informs his work with adoption and foster care questions, fatherhood issues, and family problems. Saul also addresses workplace issues, immigration-related stress, and challenges that affect young adults.
In sessions he helps people identify triggers for anger and moments of impulsivity, and then practices concrete skills to respond differently. He also supports coping with grief, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and boost commitment to change.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical homework when useful, and attention to rebuilding supports outside therapy. Saul encourages collaborative planning so progress fits everyday life and relationships.
How sessions work
How Saul’s approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and making the conversation reflect what the person wants to focus on. It helps when someone needs a space to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific strategies to interrupt unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anger linked to thought patterns, anxiety, and depression. Motivational Interviewing helps when a person feels stuck about making a change; it uses short conversations to clarify values and boost commitment to next steps.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Saul will collaborate with each person to identify which methods make sense based on their goals, life situation, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made and new concerns come up.
