About Jenenne
Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro offers support to people facing big life shifts and intense stress. She focuses on helping clients regain a sense of control and steadiness during times of change. Her style is warm and interactive, built around respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental stance.
She brings 12 years of clinical experience and works from Florida as a licensed mental health clinician. Her practice addresses trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, eating and addiction concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships. She also supports people coping with parenting strain, career changes, and chronic health or caregiving stress.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques for managing thoughts and behaviors, dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation, and attachment-focused ideas to improve close relationships. She emphasizes building resilience, self-leadership, and post-trauma recovery so people can move forward with more agency.
Her work also attends to material often tied to trauma recovery, such as early childhood attachment, abandonment, and co-occurring issues like eating disorders or substance use. She avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to create a space where clients can explore practical steps toward healing.
People who want a collaborative, integrative therapist may find her approach helpful. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking and to use the Start Therapy workflow to begin the matching process.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for coping with life changes, anxiety, and low mood by building a values-driven routine. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change interactions that cause pain or distance. This approach can help with intimacy-related struggles and attachment wounds from early experiences. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and validation to build trust and openness in sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and aligned with their needs.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make fitting appointments into busy lives easier and allows for consistent check-ins between in-person commitments. Sessions can be scheduled to match work breaks, caregiving routines, or quieter times of day, which helps maintain continuity when life is changing. Licensed professionals can use talk-based work, skills practice, and guided exercises that translate well to remote sessions.
