About Martha

Martha Fenimore is an LCSW with 39 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people identify and change patterns that undermine their wellbeing.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to help clients explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and relationship difficulties. Her work also addresses a wide range of life challenges including parenting, grief, career questions, mood disorders, and issues related to identity and sexuality.

Throughout a long career working with individuals, families, and groups, Martha has helped clients develop practical coping skills and deepen their understanding of personal obstacles such as low self-esteem, anger, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to family of origin dynamics, codependency, abandonment themes, and multicultural factors when these concerns are relevant.

Martha communicates in English and accepts international clients, offering sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Martha is based in Florida and maintains limited openings, currently available on Mondays.

Prospective clients are invited to begin by using the site matching process to arrange sessions according to her availability.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work

Many clients benefit from cognitive behavioral work, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy is another key part of her approach, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients can explore their goals and feel heard. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviors, which can be useful for deeper, longer-term concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine techniques over time as the work evolves. That shared decision-making helps create a clear plan and supports steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to fit sessions into busy schedules or connect across distances. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver talk-based therapy, skill-building exercises, and reflective work in ways that suit different learning styles and life circumstances.
