Martine Saul , LPC

Martine Saul is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her practice on practical, person-focused care. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Martine is comfortable talking about sexuality and LGBT concerns and pays close attention to issues that affect women.

She brings nine years of experience and a background working in hospice and palliative care settings. That work included placements during graduate school and later co-facilitating a bereavement support group. Those roles shaped her approach to grief, end-of-life counseling, and support for caregivers.

Martine also has experience with older adults and people with chronic illness or disability. She planned daily programs at an adult day program, focusing on engagement for participants, including those in early stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. She also holds a certificate in gerontology.

In private practice she draws on practical methods to help people manage symptoms and make changes that fit their daily lives. She combines client-centered listening with problem-focused strategies. She also uses techniques for processing trauma when appropriate.

Martine gathers community resources from her past role as a service coordinator and shares them with clients when useful. She participates in social advocacy work locally and aims to help clients connect to supports beyond sessions.

How Martine's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and helps people identify their own solutions, which suits concerns like stress, relationship problems, and self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together. It breaks down problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and difficult moods.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is used to help process traumatic memories. When used, it aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions and support recovery from past events.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around work, caregiving, or health needs.
