About Jenenne
Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro helps people who are worn down by trauma, stress, grief, and problems with eating or addiction. She uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people build resilience and stronger self-direction.
Dr. Valentino-Bottaro is a licensed mental health counselor with experience guiding people through major life changes and recovery from complex trauma. She brings 12 years of clinical work to each case and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier.
How Jenenne works
Sessions are warm and interactive, and she avoids stigmatizing labels. The goal is to support growth, healing, and a clearer sense of self-leadership. Her work blends several approaches to match what each person needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based ideas inform work on close relationships and early life wounds, and dialectical behavior techniques offer concrete skills for emotional regulation.
This mix is adapted to concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar issues, ADHD, and intimacy-related struggles. Dr. Valentino-Bottaro tailors plans around each person's goals, background, and preferences.
She explains steps simply and focuses on real-world practice between sessions. Care is offered in English and delivered from Florida by a clinician holding LMHC and LCMHC credentials.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and coping
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and guides actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is useful for anxiety, insomnia, mood symptoms, and many everyday struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating and managing emotional wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That way the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit into real life. Video lets people keep face-to-face contact, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can allow brief check-ins, and text messaging is useful for ongoing reminders or short reflections. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting, or limited time while keeping focus on practical skills and steady progress.
