He speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on issues like parenting, workplace stress, addiction concerns, grief, and questions about identity and purpose.

He uses a client-centered stance that puts the person's goals first. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Saul also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of his approach when people are weighing big decisions or want help building momentum for change. That method helps people clarify their own reasons and find motivation that fits their values.
Saul emphasizes collaboration and that progress often comes from repeated, manageable efforts. Saul earned a license as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and practices in New York. He has three years of experience as a social worker in clinical roles and a background working with youth involved in foster care and their extended support networks.
He draws on that experience when helping people navigate family stress and adoption or fatherhood concerns. Practical matters are part of the work. Saul uses a mix of conversation and hands-on exercises aimed at coping with life changes, reducing overwhelm, and improving communication with others.
How Saul’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy means the conversation starts with what the person wants to change. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said, and helps set goals that feel meaningful and realistic. This approach is useful for sorting out relationship stress, life transitions, and questions about purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral experiments between visits. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change when they feel stuck. It is a conversational style that supports building motivation and planning next steps without pressure. This approach can be helpful for addictions, lifestyle changes, or making difficult decisions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Saul will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try, adjust techniques as needed, and check in about progress. The plan evolves based on the client’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and day-to-day needs. Video calls allow fuller interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or brief reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
