About Jenenne
Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro helps people who feel stuck after trauma, loss, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can explore what matters to them.
Dr. Valentino-Bottaro has 12 years of clinical experience and holds LMHC and LCMHC credentials, licensed in Florida and Utah. She offers different session formats to fit busy lives.
Her work focuses on practical steps toward steadying emotions and rebuilding daily life.
Background and approach
She uses tools that help with anxiety, depression, eating concerns, addiction, grief, and stress. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, body image, and caregiver strain. Sessions often mix talking, skill practice, and grounding techniques tailored to each person.
Dr. Valentino-Bottaro takes an integrative stance, combining elements from cognitive and behavioral approaches with acceptance-oriented and relational work. That means clients learn skills to change unhelpful thinking, notice what matters most, and strengthen relationships with themselves and others.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers respect and compassion in sessions. Practical change is a common goal. Clients may work on emotion regulation, coping with grief, improving sleep, managing bipolar symptoms, or addressing addictive behaviors.
The plan is adjusted over time as progress and goals evolve. She provides sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who need English-language services in Florida can connect through the site’s matching process and schedule appointments accordingly.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It often focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and building a life guided by chosen priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating to themselves and others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That exploration may begin with practical skill building, then shift to deeper relational or acceptance-focused work as goals evolve.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face when a longer session is needed, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
