Joanne Assarsson

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I take a compassionate, whole-person approach. I’m not here to treat just symptoms. I want to understand you. That means looking at your mind, body, stressors, routines, relationships, and everything that shapes your daily life.

I believe care works best when we do it together. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping for and build a plan that fits your needs, whether that includes medication, therapy support, or practical day-to-day strategies. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and steadier as you move forward.

I take a straightforward, no-bullshit approach to therapy—but always with warmth, compassion, and respect. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to be honest, challenged to grow, and supported every step of the way. I believe in working collaboratively: you bring your experiences and insight, and I bring my clinical training and perspective. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way and work toward meaningful, sustainable change. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level talk—it’s about doing the real work, with someone who’s fully in it with you.

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Many people turn to psychotherapy or counseling for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, and painful relationship patterns, or simply because they feel something is missing from life. At times, we may lack the words to describe our struggles or suffering. By gaining insight into past relationships and experiences, many people begin to make progress toward overcoming these difficulties, becoming more effective in both their work and their personal lives. I am a licensed clinician with 20 years of experience helping individuals achieve a more fulfilling life.
