About Jenenne
Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro greets parents who want practical help managing family stress and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and offers steady, respectful guidance for people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or unsure about next steps.
Her style is warm and interactive and emphasizes dignity and compassion in sessions. With 12 years of clinical work, she focuses on recovery from trauma, eating issues, addictions, mood struggles, and stress-related problems. She uses a mix of well-known therapy methods to tailor care to each person’s needs rather than one-size-fits-all plans.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build resilience, stronger self-direction, and clearer coping skills. Her background includes work with complex trauma and early childhood development wounds. She has experience addressing co-occurring conditions such as addiction with eating-related concerns.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers each person’s strengths as part of the change process. Dr. Valentino-Bottaro is a licensed mental health clinician in Florida, holding FL LMHC MH15996 and UT LCMHC 12801547-6004.
She offers different formats for contact, including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. In sessions she blends practical tools with reflective conversation. That can include skills training, emotion regulation work, trauma-focused techniques, and stress management.
The goal is to help clients regain a sense of control and reconnect with what matters to them. Her approach is collaborative: together with each client she sets realistic goals and adjusts methods as progress unfolds. People leave sessions with hands-on strategies they can use at home and clearer plans for the next steps.
Approaches that inform online care and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful when stress, avoidance, or worry get in the way of daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns in close connections and aims to create new, more supported ways of relating. It is often used when trust, abandonment, or communication patterns are central concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and techniques are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between sessions. The mix of approaches and flexible formats is intended to make therapy practical and accessible while focusing on real-life changes.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
