About Jenenne

Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro offers care for people seeking to build resilience, manage stress, and address attention-related concerns, among a broad range of mental health issues.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical self-leadership and personal growth so clients can develop tools that support everyday functioning and long-term wellbeing. Her practice notes ADHD among many focus areas and she tailors work to each person’s goals rather than relying on labels.

With 12 years of clinical experience, Dr. Valentino-Bottaro combines several evidence-informed methods to address trauma, grief, mood concerns, addictions, eating-related issues, and relationship or identity struggles.

Her style is warm and interactive, centered on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She favors an integrative framework that blends cognitive-behavioral strategies, acceptance-based work, attachment-informed perspectives, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help clients learn coping skills, process difficult experiences, and strengthen emotional regulation.

Licensed to practice in Florida as an LMHC and in Utah as an LCMHC, she supports clients through a flexible mix of remote session formats. Her approach focuses on individualized treatment planning that aims to promote recovery, post-traumatic growth, and a stronger sense of self-direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Dr. Valentino-Bottaro incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. ACT can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by strengthening psychological flexibility.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills for mood, anxiety, and coping with attentional or behavioral challenges. Additionally, attachment-informed work focuses on understanding relational patterns and how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These remote options make it possible to access regular support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or circumstances change.
