About Saul
Saul Martinez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigating adoption and foster care concerns and related family issues. He speaks English and Spanish and works from New York, bringing a practical focus to conversations about parenting, relationships, and life changes.
Saul draws on three years as an LCSW and earlier experience as a caseworker to guide decision-making that fits each person’s situation. He uses straightforward tools to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address grief or trauma. Sessions aim to clarify goals and strengthen a person’s support network.
His approach stresses collaboration. Clients set the priorities and Saul offers techniques from cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing to move toward those goals. He pays attention to real-life habits and choices rather than abstract theory.
People often come to him with parenting concerns, fatherhood issues, immigration-related stress, or challenges tied to adoption and foster care. He also works with relationship strain, workplace stress, and struggles with mood or impulsivity. Conversations focus on small, doable steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Saul values tying therapy to practical outcomes. He helps clients identify supports, practice new responses, and make plans that fit their routines. That steady, collaborative focus is meant to help people regain a sense of direction and control.
How Saul's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experiences, so sessions focus on what matters most to the client and follow their pace. This approach helps when people need to sort priorities or make sense of complicated family or adoption-related feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and choices. It teaches practical skills and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and stress that affect daily life.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It can be useful when someone is deciding about parenting steps, recovery from addictive behaviors, or making other life adjustments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Saul will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.
