Dear Future Clients,
Looking for a therapist? These words should come to mind: CARING, COMPETENT, COMPASSIONATE, COURTEOUS, CONFIDENT, NON-JUDGMENTAL, ACCEPTING, and FLEXIBLE. These are just a few of my best qualifications when working with clients of all ages, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and those who demonstrate multiple issues. So, let me tell you a bit about myself.
I began my professional career as a teacher, because I loved working with students and families. I wanted to make a change in the world, by helping others learn and gain acceptance by all. Discovering that students come from all different, diversified backgrounds and multiple family situations, I continued my studies and became a Behavioral Specialist. So many educators were diagnosing and labeling students. I found this disturbing as I believe that no child is born evil, stupid, crazy, or bad. Rather, I believe individuals are affected by the family and environmental systems of which they are members. Therefore, I continued my studies in the field of Family Systemic Therapy and completed my degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida. I began working as a Licensed Family Therapist in the Florida School Systems, Church Programs and Private Practice. I utilize the method of therapy which best suits the clientele. Some of these include but are not limited to Client-Centered, Solution Focused, Narrative, Play, Brief Strategical, Problem-Solving and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies.
My career experiences opened my eyes to the many diversified situations that children, teens, adults, and families are exposed to each and every day. Something new always pops up and seems to shake up a person’s life, and you just need someone to listen and understand the situations that are affecting your life. As an Educator, Behavioral Specialist and a Licensed Family Therapist, I have worked with many different clients. No problem is too big or too small.
My degrees are a Bachelors of Arts in Education and French, and a Masters in Science in the field of Family Therapy. My Professional Teaching Certificate includes Endorsements in working with ESOL (English as a Second Language) individuals, Gifted or Highly Gifted Individuals, Specific Learning Disabilities, and Multiple Behavioral Disorders. I have over 30 years of Professional Experience.
I myself grew up in a large Irish-German, Catholic family with five sisters where perfection was expected. This caused many internal family issues, which I now understand because of my training. Also, my mother was an orphan who grew up in a New York City Orphanage before being placed in a loving foster home. Yet, the family did not want to adopt her and thus she suffered from anxiety, depression, and feelings of inadequacy for her entire life. She also struggled with alcoholism and I was given the responsibility to care for my dear mother and wait for her to come home when she walked out in the middle of the night. I learned compassion at an early age and knew I always wanted to help others either in the Peace Corps or here in the United States. My mother’s foster family spoke French and thus I majored in French in college, studying at Immaculata University in Pennsylvania, Laval University in Quebec, Canada and study abroad programs in Paris, and Normandy, France.
Now, I am a mother of three married adult children, grandmother to seven beautiful grandkids, and wife of 46 years to a wonderful husband. However, I suffered from Depression and Generalized Anxiety, after the birth of my second child. Of course, everyone told me to “Just Get Over It.” Luckily, I found a wonderful psychiatrist of Indian descent who changed my life forever. In fact, my kind, qualified psychiatrist encouraged me to further my studies and become a Family Therapist……and that is where I am today.
If you are touched by my story and feel I could help you, it would be my pleasure and honor to be your therapist. While I do speak French, because there are so many different dialects, all my sessions are in English. However, we can use French when a certain word(s) gets us stuck, so we can use French-English. Thank you for taking the time to read my Profile. I would love to work with you, because YOU are important to me.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
Professional, good listener, take care of you and always there for you. I highly recommend!
Jean is a wonderful person. She’s very kind, understanding and caring. You can really sense the genuine care that she has for you during sessions.
She is very knowledgeable about my needs
"Dr. Jeannie" is great! She understands what is going on with my life and really cares about me. We have very insightful conversations and I learn a lot about what is truly affecting me in my life. She doesn't judge and gives you valuable advice that helps tremendously. I feel very fortunate to have her in my life. She has guided me through my mother's death this year, helped me understand what is going on with my teenage son, allowed me to see clearly what is going on professionally as well as saw me through my dog's eye surgery. She helped me through all of this in less than a year's time. Dr. Jeannie is amazing and you will be happy to work with her.
I am getting a lot out of each of my sessions with Dr. Jeannie. I'm feeling better about moving through some tough experiences I've struggled with in the past and Dr. Jeannie has helped me navigate them in a wonderfully supportive manner. Dr. Jeannie is a wonderful listener and her life experiences help lend understanding and guidance in my own journey.
She is excellent
very kind and funny. doesn't judge or make you feel badly in anything you say. a very good experience in a first time with a therapist im glad i had her!
She is amazing!!!!! Very knowledgeable, professional and experienced. I had complex areas in my life that intertwined but Mrs. Caserta was able to help me to navigate it all in a very loving, caring, friendly and sincere way. Her impact on my life and mental health is priceless. I truly love working with her. Each session feels like a spa to my soul ❤️
As someone who is new to therapy, Jean has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is incredibly informative and helpful, with your mental well being as a primary concern. 10/10 would recommend to anybody.
She was so empathetic and would respond so fast. She provides great assurance with finding what your needs are and addresses them. She is one of the best therapist I have had in the few years I have been on BetterHelp.
Jeannie is wonderful! I'm always much happier after our sessions. Very comforting to have someone like her to talk to.
I very much enjoy my sessions with Jeannie. It is a very calming experience
5 stars all around, thank you jean!
Jean is a great therapist. I was going through a separation and she really helped me. She was always very understanding and never judged me. Thank you!
Jean was able to apply therapy in a kind , caring and sensitive manner. Her demeanor allowed me to relax and trust her views and self help suggestions. She helped me navigate a difficult period in my life and guided me to set boundaries and acknowledge self worth. It was an invaluable experience for which I am most grateful.
Jean is very caring and encouraging. It helps to have someone like her to listen and encourage
I was so nervous to begin therapy. She was so welcoming, and easy to talk to! She also listens and gives great advice!
Thank you for all you have done for me
Jean is a great therapist who accepts everyone. She is a great listener and offers good advice. I’ve changed therapists a couple of times since I never really found someone who gets me and takes the time to actually understand what my concerns are. But Jean does that perfectly. She’s a kind hearted person who is always going to be there for you.
She’s amazing.
An amazing therapist! She taught me so much, was patient with me, and never made me feel judged. I will always remember Jeannie's kindness and good heart.
My therapist is the best. She knows her stuff and her field of work.
Jean is a very professional and caring person. She seems to have plenty of time for me and takes the time t truly listen from her heart. She validates me even when I doubt myself. I look forward to our sessions!
Jean is a very caring and comforting person. She has a gentle approach and gives clear remarks on what you should do to get better. She has your well-being at heart and often texts you to see how you’re doing.
Jeannie is awesome. She is very understanding and accommodates my schedule for appointments well. She offers great advice and I never feel judged. I would strongly recommend her!!
Jean is a very kind, warm person who is supportive and helpful. She gave practical advice, and she was always reachable :)
Jean is a wonderful therapist. She helped me in a moment in my life that felt like the worst and really helped me get through it. She made a real difference, really made me feel like she cared, listened to me and was there every step of the way. I really recommend her to anyone with anxiety problems that feel like they will never come back to have a normal life because that's how I felt, but now I feel so much better.
We have a great time talking and I love her Guidance with everyday life situation. I am blessed to have chosen her as my counselor.
Life has been busy lately, and I had to miss our scheduled appointment due to connection problems, but Jean made it a point to communicate with me via messaging, which has been so helpful. She has felt like the friend who refuses to give up on the other friend that is busy and has no judgement towards you, and quite honestly means the world to me. Thank you Jean for being flexible with my circumstances, and for continuing to reach out.
Phenomenal
Jean was very professional and helpful. She is a great listener and with a calm and clear approach she was able to help me in a few sessions. I felt comfortable talking to her. I would choose her again when I need help again.
Jean is very empathetic and supportive, and has done great research to get me resources to better help me, which I very much appreciate. My one constructive criticism would be that sometimes she elaborates about challenges she has dealt with or is facing, in order to empathize/ commiserate with me, however because our time is limited, I bring her back to my particular problem so that I make sure we have enough time to cover my plan of action. Commiseration is helpful but since our time is short it would be helpful if she did not elaborate as much.
