About Martha

Martha Fenimore is a licensed clinical social worker with 39 years of experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and helps people untangle the things that get in the way of feeling more content. Martha listens carefully and works to create a calm, respectful space where clients can name what matters most to them.

She uses straightforward, practical methods. That can mean looking at how thoughts affect behavior, noticing repeated life patterns, or focusing on small steps that produce change.

Background and approach

Sessions often involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful habits, and practicing new ways of responding. Martha draws on several approaches to match each person's needs. She combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools and psychodynamic ideas about how past relationships shape the present.

She also uses solution-focused strategies and parts-work from Internal Family Systems when those fit the issue. Martha has helped people with stress, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. She also supports clients managing identity and relationship questions, career crossroads, postpartum mood changes, and compassion fatigue.

Additional topics she addresses include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, codependency, and communication problems. Sessions are available in English and can be scheduled from Florida. Martha accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

She works with each person to set goals and choose approaches that feel realistic and useful.

Online support

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist reflects what she hears, asks gentle questions, and follows the client's priorities to help them feel heard and make choices that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, identifies thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In sessions this often means noticing unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing simple exercises between meetings to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Martha helps clients find the right mix of methods. She discusses goals and preferences and adjusts the approach together so therapy stays practical and relevant. Finding the best fit is part of the work and is decided collaboratively rather than imposed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for teaching skills and building rapport. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing progress notes, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it possible to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and to keep continuity when life is busy.
