About Jenenne
Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro helps people who are worn down by anxiety, grief, trauma, or struggles with eating and addiction. She aims to make therapy practical and understandable so parents and busy adults can find clearer ground and daily coping tools.
She brings 12 years of clinical experience and a warm, interactive style. Sessions focus on building resilience, self-leadership, and post-traumatic growth. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion.
Background and approach
Her approach is integrative and personalized. She mixes methods to match each person's needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused ideas, and dialectical behavior skills. EMDR is also included as part of her toolkit.
Therapy often begins with identifying immediate goals and small, practical steps. Clients learn skills for managing anxiety, regulating emotions, improving sleep, and addressing eating or addictive behaviors. The work balances emotion-focused processing with day-to-day coping techniques.
Dr. Valentino-Bottaro holds licensure in Florida and Utah as a mental health counselor, listed as LMHC and LCMHC. She offers sessions in English and designs plans that fit a person's schedule and life demands.
Many people come for help with stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career questions, or the aftermath of trauma. The focus is on recovery, clearer thinking, and rebuilding a sense of agency in life.

Online support
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then take values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making changes that matter day to day. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people develop safer, more trusting ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and then practicing concrete skills to change them, which can help with sleep problems, anxiety, and mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that fit their life, goals, and what feels doable. Sessions often combine skills practice, emotional processing, and planning small behavior changes to test between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible for busy schedules. Video is good for a fuller conversation and skill coaching, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and messaging fits ongoing support and brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills in real time while balancing family and work responsibilities.
