Kouassi started out with Ivorian club Juventus Yopougon [fr][4] before going overseas to sign with Hapoel Ra'anana in Israel in 2019. After an impressive start with three goals in her first two games, she struggled and returned to the Ivory Coast, signing with Africa Sports [fr] in November 2020.[5] There she won the Côte d'Ivoire Women's Championship in 2020–21 and was named the best player of the season.[6]

In November 2021, Kouassi and her compatriot Mariam Diakité signed with French club Fleury on a one-year deal.[7] She scored her first goal for the club in a 4–0 win against Saint-Étienne in the Division 1 Féminine on 13 November. On 17 April 2022, she scored the opening goal in a 2–1 loss to league champions Lyon.[8] She finished the 2021–22 season with 6 goals in 14 games as Fleury placed fourth in the league.[9] In her first season, she was named Division 1 Féminine Player of the Month twice,[10] named Best Young Player,[11] and named in the Team of the Season.[12] She was also named the best Ivorian player abroad.[13] After the season, she signed a new three-year deal with Fleury.[14]

On 20 January 2023, Kouassi scored two goals in a 4–4 draw against Paris Saint-Germain.[8] She finished the 2022–23 season with 10 goals (sixth in the league) and 5 assists in 20 games as Fleury again placed fourth.[15] She was again named in the D1 Team of the Season.[16]

Kouassi finished the 2023–24 season with 5 goals and 3 assists in 19 games. Fleury dropped one place to fifth in the league.[17]
