About Martha

Martha Fenimore is a licensed clinical social worker who centers sessions on the person's experience. She focuses on helping people notice unhealthy influences on their wellbeing and identify obstacles that get in the way of feeling content. Martha uses clear listening and calm guidance to help clients talk through stress, grief, relationship strains, and life changes.

She brings 39 years of experience in clinical work in Florida. Over her career she has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Martha also addresses issues related to LGBT identity, intimacy, parenting, career transitions, and mood disorders including bipolar illness.

Martha combines several practical methods in therapy. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She also draws on Psychodynamic work, Solution-Focused strategies, and Internal Family Systems to understand patterns and create manageable steps forward.

Sessions emphasize listening, clear feedback, and collaborative problem solving. Martha helps people develop coping skills for compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. She also supports those facing family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, communication problems, and divorce or separation.

Approaches that guide online work and practical support

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's priorities first and focuses on being heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort through feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, lift mood, or change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Martha will help figure out what methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and how a person responds in the first few sessions. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Some people prefer shorter remote check-ins when time is limited, while others use longer sessions for deeper work. A therapist and client can choose the rhythm and style that best supports progress.
