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.

Laura Smith

Laura Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Twenty-five years in this field — across inpatient units, outpatient programs, and private practice — means I've sat with people in virtually every kind of difficulty. That depth of experience shapes how I show up: grounded, unhurried, and genuinely confident that change is possible, even when it doesn't feel that way yet.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, ADD/ADHD, stress, and major life transitions. I bring both clinical rigor and real human warmth to the work — because neither alone is enough.

I trained at Hunter College School of Social Work and have built my practice around one belief: that insight without practical tools doesn't get people very far, and tools without insight don't stick. We'll work on both.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Westport

Finding therapists in Westport starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare Westport therapists, look for listed specialties that match what you want to work on. You can also review therapy approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, or other methods noted in a therapist’s bio.

Westport has local therapy options, but appointment availability may vary in smaller markets. Virtual therapy can give you more choice while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Connecticut. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person care near Westport, virtual sessions, evening availability, or a therapist who offers a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and supports people with needs like yours.

Therapy in Westport can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. Browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
