Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro, LMHC, LCMHC

Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro helps people work through trauma, anxiety, grief, and struggles with eating and addiction. She blends practical skills with supportive conversation so people can manage day-to-day stress and take clearer steps forward. Dr. Valentino-Bottaro is a licensed mental health counselor with 12 years of clinical experience in Florida.

She offers a warm, interactive style that avoids labels and focuses on each person’s needs. Sessions aim to build resilience, self-leadership, and tools for coping when life feels overwhelming. People bring specific problems and she helps them break those problems into manageable steps.

Her work combines cognitive and behavioral methods with acceptance and attachment-informed ideas. That mix helps with symptoms like anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and struggling with relationships or intimacy. Practical exercises, real-world behavior changes, and guided reflection are common parts of sessions.

She also addresses more complex histories, including early childhood trauma, co-occurring issues like eating concerns and addiction, and caregiver stress. Treatment plans are adapted to what matters most to the person in front of her. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who want a collaborative therapist will find her conversational approach straightforward. She explains techniques, practices skills together, and tracks small wins over time. Dr. Valentino-Bottaro works in English and provides online formats to fit different schedules.

Approaches that guide online work

Dr. Valentino-Bottaro uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core tools in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or problems with sleep and eating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on accepting difficult feelings while choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with stress, grief, and motivation.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when relationship problems, intimacy issues, or attachment wounds affect trust and communication. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative: she will listen to goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what fits the person's needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and coaching. Phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or times with less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for ongoing check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, family, and daily life.
