About Jenenne
Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro greets people who are managing anxiety, stress, grief, or the fallout from trauma with a calm, straightforward style. She focuses on helping people build self-leadership and resilience so they can handle daily pressures and big life changes.
Her tone is warm and respectful and she avoids stigmatizing labels. She has 12 years of experience and is licensed as an LMHC and LCMHC in Florida. Her work spans trauma, eating and addiction issues, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and relationship and intimacy-related struggles.
Background and approach
She also addresses caregiver stress, body image, ADHD, and other areas that often come with complex histories. In sessions she uses a mix of practical talk and experiential methods. Conversations emphasize coping skills, clearer values, and small steps people can try between meetings.
She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-based concepts to shape each plan. Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then shapes interventions to fit what each person says they need.
That can mean short-term skill building or deeper work around childhood wounds and attachment patterns. Clients can expect direct, compassionate guidance and tools they can use outside sessions. The goal is clearer direction, steadier emotion, and more confidence leading your life rather than feeling ruled by anxiety or old patterns.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions that match those values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching practical ways to notice thoughts and choose meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and habits that feed anxiety or low mood and teaches skills to change them. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current trust, intimacy, and emotional responses. It helps when fears about closeness or abandonment get in the way of relationships and personal stability.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can shift between skill-focused work and deeper attachment or trauma-focused exploration as progress and comfort allow.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and body language cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for quick reflections, brief coaching, and staying in touch between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while working toward the goals you and your therapist set.
