Martine Saul

Martine Saul is an LPC with nine years of counseling experience in Pennsylvania. She focuses on women's issues alongside stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. Martine works with people facing complex health concerns and the emotional effects of aging and caregiving.

She completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Point Park University and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University. Martine also earned a certificate in Gerontology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2020. Her graduate placements were in hospice and palliative care settings, which shaped her interest in end-of-life support.

Martine has hands-on experience running daily programs at an adult day program for older adults. She planned activities to engage participants, including people in early stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. That work informs how she adapts sessions for clients with cognitive or medical challenges.

In addition to private practice, Martine co-facilitates a bereavement support group and takes part in community advocacy. She draws on a background as a service coordinator to connect people to local resources and supports during and after counseling.

Her practice uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral tools, EMDR, and motivational interviewing to address trauma, addictions, relationship concerns, and more. Martine helps people prepare for and adjust to major life changes while offering practical options and coping strategies.

How Martine’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and shapes sessions around what the person says matters most. This approach helps with emotional processing, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and simple tools to change patterns that increase anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT often helps people develop clearer coping strategies and problem-solving skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as the work deepens or life circumstances shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care during medical appointments or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals adapt tools like CBT worksheets or EMDR protocols to work over distance when appropriate, and Martine uses her hospice and caregiving experience to shape practical, flexible sessions.
