About Martha

Martha Fenimore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, FL LCSW, with 39 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship concerns, and related life stresses. Martha communicates plainly and focuses on helping people notice what gets in the way of feeling more content.

She helps people identify unhealthy influences on their wellbeing and clarifies obstacles that keep daily life from improving. Sessions often include practical conversation about self-esteem, coping skills, and ways to manage strong emotions like anger and frustration. Martha uses direct listening and guided reflection to help people understand patterns that repeat in relationships and at work.

Her work has included individuals, groups, and involvement with family-related concerns such as parenting, adoption and foster care, and family of origin issues. She also supports people facing grief, career stress, postpartum concerns, and mood-related problems including bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder.

Martha draws on several clinical approaches to shape sessions. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Elements of Psychodynamic work and Internal Family Systems help uncover recurring patterns and internal parts that influence behavior.

Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change. People who want to examine anger, communication problems, control issues, codependency, or feelings of guilt and shame will find concrete tools and reflective talking in sessions.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Martha commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when she works with people. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person, which helps clarify goals for anger and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete exercises to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for managing temper, workplace frustration, and resentment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. The approach can shift over time as priorities change, and she draws from psychodynamic ideas or Internal Family Systems when deeper patterns or internal parts need attention.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as options were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commuting time so someone can use a break from work. Talk with her about what schedule and session length work best so therapy fits into everyday life.
