About Jeanne

Dr. Jeanne Assinthe is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of practice experience in Florida. She also holds the CSW credential and a Doctor of Social Work. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and coping with life changes.

She emphasizes addressing the roots of distress rather than only treating symptoms. That includes looking at how identity, history, culture, and community affect mental health. She has developed programs that bring together cultural knowledge, community practices, and clinical methods to reduce cycles of harm and support resilience.

Her background blends direct clinical work with organizational leadership. As founder and CEO of a wellness organization, she has helped design programs such as cultural healing circles and training for other clinicians. She also offers qualified supervision and has experience consulting with agencies and nonprofits on equity and program design.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clearer understanding of patterns. She uses approaches that include acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment ideas, cognitive-behavioral tools, and techniques drawn from dialectical and client-centered methods. These approaches are applied to concerns like anger, relationship communication, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.

She works in English and Haitian Creole and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and then choose actions that match their values. That can be useful for anger that keeps coming up in relationships or work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships, helping someone see how past bonds affect current reactions and improve how they connect with others.

Choosing the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to match approaches to their goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to emphasize skills practice, insight about relational patterns, or values-based action.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. It also supports continuity when geography or scheduling would otherwise interrupt progress. If you want sessions in English or Haitian Creole, note those language options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
