About Saul
Saul Martinez welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by relationship struggles, parenting stress, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, or big life transitions. He speaks English and Spanish and practices as an LCSW in New York. Saul focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.
Saul draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make room for each person's goals and pace. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
How Saul works
Motivational Interviewing helps when making changes feels hard or when someone is unsure what they want. Saul has three years of experience as an LCSW in direct practice and prior work as a caseworker in foster care. That background shaped his interest in adoption and foster care issues, fatherhood concerns, immigration-related stress, and family problems.
He also focuses on workplace stress, impulsivity, and finding life purpose. In sessions Saul keeps language simple and practical. He helps people break problems into small steps and builds on what already works in their lives.
He also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles. People who choose Saul can expect collaborative goal-setting and down-to-earth strategies. He aims to strengthen support networks and help clients make choices that feel empowering.
For Spanish speakers he offers therapy in Spanish as well as English.

How Saul's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and shaping goals around what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with mood. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by exploring their reasons and strengthening their own motivation.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Saul will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is made. This keeps therapy flexible and focused on what actually helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit into real life. Video lets people read facial cues and have a longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, brief emotional support, or ongoing accountability between longer sessions. These options aim to make it simpler to attend sessions around work, parenting, or travel.
