About Martha
Martha Fenimore is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a client-centered approach to help people untangle what gets in the way of feeling more content. She listens closely and works with each person to identify unhelpful patterns and practical next steps. Martha brings 39 years of clinical experience to conversations about mood, relationships, and life changes.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress.
Background and approach
She also addresses concerns such as parenting challenges, grief, intimacy-related issues, and career transitions. Martha recognizes how adoption, family of origin, and multicultural concerns shape how people cope and relate. Martha blends straightforward methods to meet the moment.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift negative thinking. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand repeated patterns that started earlier in life. Solution-Focused strategies and Internal Family Systems ideas help clarify practical steps and inner parts that need attention.
Sessions focus on clear goals and doable changes. Conversations include skill-building, problem solving, and making sense of past experiences that still affect daily life. Martha aims for a calm, nonjudgmental tone and encourages clients to try small experiments between meetings.
She practices from Florida and offers work in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for people who prefer flexible options.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Clients can expect a mix of practical strategies and deeper exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarify goals. Psychodynamic ideas help people see recurring patterns that come from earlier life experiences and can explain why certain problems keep returning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Martha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That planning can change over time as progress is made or new issues come up, and adjustments are discussed openly in sessions.
Online delivery offers practical advantages. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face dialogue when schedules or distance make in-person meetings difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while tailoring contact to daily life.
