About Jeanne
Dr. Jeanne Assinthe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, depression, and compassion fatigue.
She describes her work as addressing more than symptoms. She pays attention to identity, history, community, and culture when helping people cope. Her practice includes attention to abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, body image, and the effects of separation or loss.
Dr. Assinthe uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions she helps people name hard emotions, notice relational patterns, and learn new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Her background includes leadership and program development. She founded Amitie Wellness, Inc., and has created programs that blend cultural practices, liberation psychology, and community-based methods. She has experience developing training and providing qualified supervision for other clinicians.
Her approach seeks to connect clinical work with larger systems that affect healing. She combines direct clinical care with work on organizational change, advocacy, and program development to support longer-term shifts for individuals and communities.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name difficult emotions and understand how those feelings shape relationships. EFT is often used when people want to shift patterned ways of relating or to better express needs and fears.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. ACT helps when worries or avoidance get in the way of meaningful goals and everyday functioning.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns of bonding and how they appear in current relationships. This approach can help with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and repeated relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process is shared and adaptive rather than fixed.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. Online options can also let someone attend from a quieter place or choose a session style that matches their schedule. Confirm current session arrangements and any practical details before the first appointment.
