About Jenenne

Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro works with adults seeking growth after trauma, struggling with mood or anxiety symptoms, or navigating complex issues like eating or substance-related concerns.

Background and approach

She is a warm, interactive clinician who frames work around personal autonomy, resilience, and developing self-leadership. Her practice emphasizes respectful, compassionate care and avoids stigmatizing labels while tailoring treatment to each person’s needs.

With 12 years of clinical experience, Dr. Valentino-Bottaro uses an integrative approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods to support post-traumatic growth and recovery from complex trauma, early childhood developmental trauma, and co-occurring conditions.

She also addresses grief, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, career stress, caregiver fatigue, and challenges such as body image, ADHD, and chronic illness. Licensed to practice in Florida, she combines practical skills-building with reflective work to help clients heal, transform, and connect with their sense of purpose and self-direction.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and maladaptive coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes learning to accept difficult internal experiences while clarifying values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts interventions over time so therapy stays practical and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to schedule work around daily life, use short or longer interactions as needed, and keep continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can apply the same therapeutic techniques across these formats while helping clients build skills, process experiences, and pursue recovery and growth.
