About Jeanne
Dr. Jeanne Assinthe greets prospective clients with a focus on families and parenting concerns. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and holds the credentials LMSW, LCSW, and CSW.
She aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting strain, trauma, and life transitions. Jeanne centers care on a person's identity, history, and culture. She looks beyond symptoms to the root causes of distress, including systemic and intergenerational influences.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical steps people can use at home and in daily life. She developed the Empowering Families Program to combine ancestral practices, liberation psychology, and community-led supports. That program is intended to help people change long-standing patterns and build healthier connections within their households and communities.
Her work spans direct clinical practice and organizational leadership. As founder and CEO of Amitie Wellness, Inc., she has helped create training programs, cultural healing circles, and organizational tools aimed at improving care in agencies and health systems. Jeanne also provides qualified supervision and training for other clinicians.
She writes and speaks about culturally responsive approaches to healing and offers guidance that blends individual care with broader systems change. She conducts work in English and Haitian Creole and accepts international clients. Prospective clients in Florida can follow the site’s booking steps to begin a match and schedule sessions.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps people practice different ways of relating to feel safer and more connected.Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches or a mix of methods that fit those priorities. Clients can expect to shape the plan together over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also let someone continue care with the same therapist across geography, which supports ongoing work on family or parenting concerns and long-term goals.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
