Joanne Assarsson

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


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.

I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.

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 Kensington

Searching for therapists in Kensington starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. People often look for care for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Kensington is a smaller market, so nearby in-person options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your choices across Maryland while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what to expect and choose someone whose approach fits your preferences.

Therapy in Kensington can be a significant cost 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 costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

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