About Jenenne

Dr. Jenenne Valentino-Bottaro is a licensed mental health clinician who focuses on helping people manage anger alongside related issues like stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship strain. She uses a warm, interactive style and aims to help each person build resilience and self-leadership. Her language is plain and direct, made for people who want practical steps they can use day to day.

She has practiced for 12 years and works with problems that often sit with anger, including grief, addiction, eating concerns, and early childhood trauma. Sessions center on creating a plan that fits a person's life while addressing the feelings and behaviors that get in the way of goals. Dr. Valentino-Bottaro favors an integrative approach that mixes several methods to meet individual needs.

Her work draws on therapies that help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior, strengthen relationships, and notice the body’s role in emotion. She emphasizes building a mindset of self-leadership and resilience so people can respond differently in stressful moments. Her counseling style aims to be nonjudgmental and compassionate.

She often supports recovery from co-occurring problems such as process addictions and eating disorders, and she pays attention to how early life experiences affect current patterns. Practical skills, reflective work, and tailored strategies are used together to help people move toward lasting change.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward those values, which can be useful for anger and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and to build calmer responses in tense moments. This can help with anxiety, depression, and anger-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods make the most sense based on needs, goals, and what feels manageable. That collaboration guides session plans and homework between meetings.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you prefer a shorter check-in or need to schedule around work, online appointments can make that easier. The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they match your schedule and preferences.
