About Martha

Martha Fenimore is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on nearly four decades of experience to help people untangle persistent stress, anger, and emotional pain. She focuses on clear, practical steps that make daily life easier. Martha listens closely and helps individuals name what gets in the way of feeling steady and hopeful.

She uses a blend of approaches to match a person’s needs. Client-centered work makes room for someone’s priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Internal Family Systems gives language to the different parts of a person and how they relate.

Martha has long experience addressing trauma, grief, mood concerns, and relationship struggles. She also supports people coping with parenting strain, career shifts, ADHD, and identity questions. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care issues, plus multicultural and LGBT concerns.

Sessions focus on practical strategies and honest conversation. Some work aims at short-term solutions when a person needs relief fast. Other work looks deeper at long-standing patterns that fuel anger, low self-esteem, or recurring conflict.

She practices in Florida and offers services in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Fees vary by location and a subscription can be canceled at any time.

How Martha’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy is about focusing on the person’s goals and pace. In practice this means the therapist listens deeply, follows what matters most to the client, and adjusts sessions to their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit the issue, the person’s preferences, and their goals. That work can change over time as needs shift, and choices are revisited together.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can help make therapy fit into a busy life - it can reduce travel, allow appointments during work breaks, and make it easier to keep regular meetings. Some approaches, like CBT, adapt well to shorter focused sessions and practical exercises, while deeper psychodynamic or Internal Family Systems work can proceed at a steadier pace over time. Licensed professionals will discuss what will work best for each individual.
