I am a Mental Health Clinician licensed in Florida. I bring my specialized programs to encourage personal autonomy, resilience, personal growth and self-leadership. For over 12 years, my specializations include addressing personal and professional growth, fostering self-leadership and post traumatic growth and resolution from complex trauma, early childhood development trauma and recovery that includes eating disorders, addiction, co-occurring disorders (trauma, process addictions and eating disorders). My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I believe in an integrative approach. My approach is built around establishing a mindset of self-leadership, resilience and aligning with the soul-self energy. The integrative approach tailors our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique needs so that you can heal, transform and connect to yourself as leader. Modalities include: Transpersonal and Somatic Psychology, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-TF, Internal Family Systems Model, Satir Model, Play Therapy: AutPlay, Somatic and Eco Play Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology Perspective and Human-Animal Interconnectedness.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr. Valentino-Bottaro is able to identify the problem I am facing and help me sort my thoughts, see the problem in a different way so I can cope and resolve the problem from the traumatic experience I have. I am making significant progress resolving my problem. I also love BetterHelp. I’ve done therapy before but it was such a challenge taking time off work to go to the appointment. I love how I can schedule an appointment and talk over FaceTime in the privacy of my own home when I work remotely. BetterHelp helped me find the best therapist. Dr. Valentino-Bottaro gets it and grateful for her help.
