About Martine
Martine Saul is a Pennsylvania LPC with nine years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and coping with life changes.
She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Point Park University and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University. Martine also completed 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 bereavement and end-of-life work.
Martine has supported older adults in several settings, including an adult day program where she ran daily activities for participants. She has experience working with people in early stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s, and she continues to work with aging and medically complex clients.
In addition to private practice work, Martine co-facilitates a bereavement support group and takes part in community social advocacy. Her background as a service coordinator means she is familiar with local resources and often shares those referrals when helpful.
Martine also works with LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, sexuality, polyamory and multicultural issues. She uses straightforward conversation to prepare and support people through transitions and losses, and she tailors sessions around the person’s immediate needs and goals.
How Martine’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities. It emphasizes open conversation and the therapist listening deeply to what matters most. This approach helps when someone wants to talk through guilt, shame, grief, or everyday stressors.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In short practical steps clients learn skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety and depression.
EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories and can be used when trauma or past events fuel ongoing shame or intense emotional reactions.
Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which approach or combination feels most helpful. That decision is practical and collaborative rather than fixed up front.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid being on camera for clients who prefer that. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well in remote sessions while focusing on the client’s day-to-day concerns.
