  2. How Saul’s approaches work in online therapy

    Saul commonly integrates Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with people. Motivational Interviewing helps identify a person’s own reasons for change and builds motivation one step at a time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Saul collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He will discuss options together and adjust course as progress and priorities change.

    Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during a workday or between tasks. It can also make it simpler to involve bilingual care when English or Spanish is preferred. Ask about current session choices when you schedule to make sure they match your routine and needs.
