About Jenenne

Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro helps people who feel stuck after trauma, life changes, or ongoing stress. She writes short, clear goals with each person and focuses on building resilience and self-leadership.

She offers a warm, interactive style and uses a range of approaches to meet individual needs. With 12 years of practice, she has worked with people facing complex trauma, early childhood development wounds, eating disorders, and addictions. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current behavior and relationships.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to reduce shame, improve coping, and restore a sense of agency. Her work mixes Jungian perspectives with practical therapies so conversations connect inner meaning and everyday coping. That means looking at patterns, personal stories, and how they play out now.

The goal is to help people notice recurring themes and choose different responses. She also uses focused behavioral skills for immediate relief, such as strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. These tools help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing impulses.

The approach is tailored to what each person needs right now. Dr. Valentino-Bottaro values respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session.

She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers each person’s goals. People who want to change habits, work through grief, or rebuild after trauma may find her approach practical and thoughtful.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Valentino-Bottaro blends depth-oriented and practical therapies to address both inner meaning and daily challenges. Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols and life themes to help people understand repeating patterns and where they come from. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match your values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people build more supported ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This helps ensure sessions stay relevant to what the person needs and prefers.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions can fit a short check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coping plans, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
