About Jeanne
Dr. Jeanne Assinthe is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family matters, parenting, trauma and abuse, and related issues like anger and self-esteem.
She frames care around the whole person - their identity, history, culture, and community. She tends to look beyond symptoms to underlying causes, including the effects of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma. Therapy sessions typically include practical strategies alongside reflection on personal and family patterns.
Her background blends hands-on clinical work with systems-level leadership. She founded and leads an organization that offers a range of services and programs aimed at culturally responsive care. That work has included program development, training, supervision, and partnerships with agencies and nonprofits.
In practice she draws on several evidence-based approaches. Clients can expect methods that focus on values and committed actions, understanding attachment patterns, and using skills to manage difficult emotions. She also brings therapeutic listening and client-centered techniques to help people find what works for them.
People who come for help often want better ways to cope with life changes, parenting stress, relationship strain, grief, or burnout. The first sessions are about clarifying goals and deciding which strategies to try next. To begin, the site asks people to use the online matching steps and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can help when relationship strain or family patterns are a concern.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying skill-based work for emotion regulation or slowing down to map attachment dynamics, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten travel, or allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills training for remote sessions so the work stays practical and usable in daily life.
