Martha is so wonderful. She has really taken the time to understand my struggles and give me so many new tactics to help me grow. She is great about sending me information and continuing to find new strategies that no other therapist previously had provided.

More about Martha

  • 39 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hey!

My name is Martha Fenimore and I have enjoyed working as a licensed therapist for over 25 years. Having been educated

with a Social Work background has taught me how to see every person as an individual who is influenced by family, work,

sexuality, health, stage of life, finances, and social supports, to name a few. Identifying these influences helps both of us

better understand the reason for your coming to therapy and possible obstacles getting in your way.

In my career as a therapist, I have worked with a variety of individual, families, and groups. We have tackled numerous

subjects including self-esteem, sexuality, trauma, family of origin influences, relationships, depression, anxiety, career

development, goal clarification, etc. I enjoy helping clients identify their healthy coping skills and teaching them new ones.

My clients describe me as a good listener who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and non-judgmental.

If I am the kind of therapist you are looking for, please feel free to contact me at any time. I check my emails throughout the

day and will respond to you as soon as I am able. Please be aware that I do not go by the Better Help schedule, so give me

possible times you are available and I'll pick something good for us both.

Thank-you for your consideration. Martha Fenimore, LCSW

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I feel very comfortable talking to Martha. She understands my concerns and is open-minded and empathetic to the challenges I am dealing with.

Martha is an amazing therapist. She made me feel so understood and listened to. She let me open up at the pace I wanted to, and was really understanding of my background. And she is such a great listener. Even when I didn’t know how to formulate my thoughts, she helped me put everything together and align my personal goals. She made me feel proud of small successes just as much as big ones. I felt like I always had someone rooting for me. After every session I’ve had with her, I felt so much relief. I would definitely recommend her!

Martha is a very talented therapist. I first became her client about 10 months ago, and she helped me work out some various issues in my life. I went on my way, and have been reading some self-help books myself, and realized there are some things that hit home with me that I would like to talk about, so they are not issues forever. I decided to work on this with a therapist, and luckily, Martha was available! I look forward to working on these new things with her. Bottom Line: Sign up for counseling with Martha if you are interested in someone who will listen to you, take time out of their day for you, respond to your messages in under 24 hours, put effort in to understanding you as a person, and give you tools and resources outside of therapy, that are designed to help you along the way. Martha is the key to helping you overcome your issues!

I've been enjoying my time with Martha. She takes time to listen and provide feedback without feeling too invasive, she lets me open up in the pace I want to and provides me with appropriate coping mechanisms. She helps using the prompts to guide the conversation and sources/evidence to why I behave a certain way. Martha's been great and helpful and would highly recommend her.

I live a very unpredictable lifestyle due to being a waiter, but Martha always seems to have time for me and my moans and groans. She's human, something I haven't found in a lot of therapists in the past and I feel as though someone finally gets me. I've not been using this service for long, but it's so nice to feel as though someone is genuinely on your side.

Martha is really patient and understanding. Speaking with her felt like someone was really listening to what I had to say and when I felt like I wasn't sure what words to use to describe how I felt, she kind of knew exactly what I meant. It's been a pretty positive first experience with counseling for me.
