About Martha
Martha Fenimore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 39 years of experience helping adults address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and family of origin issues. She focuses on practical skills and clearer understanding of what keeps people stuck. Martha works with concerns such as grief, parenting strains, intimacy-related issues, and mood disorders.
Over her long career she has worked with individuals, families, and groups on topics including self-esteem, sexuality, trauma and coping skills. She pays attention to how patterns learned in childhood continue to affect choices and relationships today. Conversations typically identify unhelpful patterns and look for small, doable changes.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic thinking. That means she listens for what matters most to the person, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and considers how past relationships shape present reactions. She also uses solution-focused steps and aspects of Internal Family Systems when those fit the situation.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Martha helps people name practical steps for managing anxiety, anger, or the day-to-day stresses of parenting and work. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, abandonment, codependency, and multicultural concerns.
People should expect direct conversation, a focus on strategies that can be tried between sessions, and checking progress over time. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can learn about current struggles and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Martha blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic ideas. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person, which can help people clarify their goals and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to how earlier relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice recurring patterns passed down from family of origin.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as progress is reviewed. That collaborative decision helps keep sessions practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use a work break or an evening slot more easily. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, psychodynamic reflection, and client-centered conversation to the online setting to keep the work focused and usable in daily life.
