Therapist

Career counseling focused on mental health in the workplace is my specialization. I help college students, job seekers and working professionals who are feeling burned out, anxious, or overwhelmed reconnect with their strengths and bring their best selves to work or school. Many of my clients juggle high expectations, relationship challenges at work or college, and feel stuck, frustrated, or held back by negative self-talk. Together, we work on recognizing these patterns, challenging self-imposed limitations, and building healthier, more confident ways of thinking.

Joanne Assarsson

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


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.

My approach to therapy is to help you uncover what is blocking you from living your life to the fullest. I do not believe I hold all the answers; rather, I will assist you in discovering the answers to the problems you are facing through our counseling services. We will work together to find the best solutions to what is troubling you. I sincerely believe in listening to you fully and not judging you for how you feel or think.

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 Grand Rapids, MI

Searching for therapists in Grand Rapids starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Grand Rapids therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training match what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand whether someone uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Grand Rapids has a strong local mental health care community, with therapists across neighborhoods like Eastown, Heritage Hill, Midtown, and nearby areas. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home, work, or school, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical focus, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Grand Rapids can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Grand Rapids.

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