Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro

Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro greets people who are juggling big life questions and career pressures. She focuses on helping clients regain direction, manage stress, and rebuild confidence after trauma or major change. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to help people step into self-leadership and resilience.

Dr. Valentino-Bottaro has practiced for 12 years as a licensed mental health counselor. She works with complex trauma, eating and addiction concerns, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and career-related stress. Her work also addresses grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

The therapist uses an integrative approach that adapts to each person. Sessions draw from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior tools, and attachment-focused work. EMDR is also listed among the methods she uses for processing traumatic memories.

In session she aims to combine practical skills with deeper personal exploration. Clients can expect to practice strategies for mood and anxiety management alongside conversations about values, identity, and long-term goals. The emphasis is on building daily habits that support growth and lead to clearer choices at work and home.

She is licensed in Florida as an LMHC and LCMHC and brings a background that includes work with eating disorders, co-occurring issues, and recovery from early childhood trauma. Sessions are offered in English and designed to help people move toward more stable functioning and greater self-direction.

How different approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by stress, or unsure about career direction by teaching practical ways to move toward meaningful goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that developed in early relationships and how they affect current trust and communication. This approach can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and build more secure ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean practicing behavioral skills one week and addressing traumatic memories another week, depending on what the client and therapist agree will help most.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so clients can keep consistent appointments. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm which online options are offered before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain a steady plan of work-focused and personal goals while juggling daily responsibilities.
