Joanne Assarsson

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


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

I'm Francis Aneke, and I work with adults navigating mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard — not rushed through a checklist. My practice is built on the idea that mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum: your relationships, work, sleep, body, and history all shape how you feel today. Whether you've been in therapy for years or are reaching out for the first time, my goal is to make this space feel like one where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, we'll work toward the kind of relief and clarity that lasts beyond our sessions.

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 Mental Health Therapist in District of Columbia

Searching for therapists in DC starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. Across the District of Columbia, therapy needs and available therapists can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and care format. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare DC therapists, look for specialties, approaches, and training that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or experience supporting people through major life changes.

Location and logistics can shape whether a therapist is a strong fit. In Washington, Capitol Hill, and Georgetown, some people prefer an office that works with their commute, while others choose virtual sessions for more flexibility. It can also help to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can show you how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus, so you can make a more informed choice.

Therapy in the District of Columbia can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see your estimated cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your specific coverage depends on your plan and location. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

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