Joanne Assarsson

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


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.

Therapist

I bring both clinical depth and genuine warmth to every therapeutic relationship. I earned my Master's in Counseling from St. Mary's University and have spent my career walking alongside adults navigating some of life's most challenging moments — anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, women's issues, and so much more. As a Hispanic woman, I understand firsthand the importance of feeling truly seen and understood by your therapist, and I am committed to creating a space where your full identity is honored and welcomed. I work with adults across Texas, and if any of this resonates, I would love to connect. Reaching out is the hardest step, and I will meet you with the same warmth I bring to every session.
