Dr. Jeanne Assinthe

Dr. Jeanne Assinthe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of practice. She brings direct, practical help for people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and parenting challenges. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and works from Florida while also connecting with international clients.

She focuses on honoring the whole person by looking beyond symptoms. Her work considers identity, history, culture, and community when addressing trauma and emotional pain. That means talking through triggers, patterns, and everyday strategies that can reduce reactivity and rebuild trust in relationships.

Her clinical background includes a Doctor of Social Work and roles in both individual care and system-level work. She has founded and led organizations that combine therapeutic services with training and program development. This experience informs a practical approach that blends individual therapy with ideas from community healing and social context.

In sessions, she draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand feelings and try new behaviors. She also incorporates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work when helpful. The focus is on making tools that fit daily life and personal values.

Her practice pays attention to issues that often come with trauma history, including abandonment, attachment struggles, domestic violence, and compassion fatigue. She aims to empower clients to reclaim agency, improve communication, and make clear plans for coping with life changes.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values even when emotions are uncomfortable, which can be useful for anger and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and change reactive patterns that fuel anger or anxiety.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current responses to stress and closeness. It can help people understand why they react strongly in relationships and try new ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often mix approaches so clients get tools that actually help them in daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. This profile does not list specific session formats, so checking available formats is recommended. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills between appointments and bring real-life situations into conversation.
