About Martine Saul
Martine Saul is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who blends clinical training with hands-on experience supporting people through loss, chronic illness, caregiving challenges, and life transitions. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Point Park University and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology (MSCP) from Chatham University - the MSCP is a graduate degree focused on clinical counseling skills. Martine also completed a certificate in Gerontology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2020, reflecting specialized training in aging and older-adult concerns.
During graduate school, Martine completed field placements in hospice and palliative care settings, which shaped her focus on bereavement, grief work, and end-of-life support for patients and their families. She co-facilitates a bereavement support group and remains actively involved in social advocacy within her community. In previous roles she worked as a service coordinator and at an adult day program, where she planned daily activities designed to engage older adults, including those in early stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
In private practice Martine works with people across the lifespan - children, adolescents, and adults - addressing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She maintains an emphasis on aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and hospice and end-of-life counseling, and draws on community resources she has gathered to support clients. Martine’s training and experience equip her to support clients through grief, medical complexity, and transitions with practical guidance and compassionate, client-focused care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Martine Saul
Martine draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so the client’s own goals and strengths guide the work - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill-building, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult emotions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports the processing of distressing memories and symptoms related to past trauma and abuse, and it is often used when traumatic experiences interfere with daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Martine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as progress and needs evolve. Her aim is to match evidence-informed techniques to the realities of each client’s life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving duties, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel, while fitting therapy into daily life more easily.
