About Joanette

Joanette Pulskamp-Jackson is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She practices in Colorado and brings a calm, client-centered presence to sessions. Joanette aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and other major life changes find steady ground.

Her work emphasizes creating an affirming space where clients can talk through painful experiences. She uses practical tools to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning. Conversations focus on what a person wants to change and small steps they can try between sessions.

Joanette draws on several well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She mixes strategies to fit each person’s goals rather than following a single method. That means sessions may include tracking thoughts, practicing new communication habits, or building tolerance for strong emotions.

Clients often turn to her for help with trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and self esteem. She also supports those coping with bipolar disorder, ADHD, caregiver strain, and blended-family transitions. Joanette works with people through grief, major life transitions, and challenges related to aging and health.

She holds LCSW, CSW, and LISW credentials and is licensed in Colorado and Ohio. Sessions are offered in English, and international clients are accepted.

How chosen approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take action toward those values. In practice this can mean learning to accept uncomfortable feelings while making deliberate choices that fit a person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotions in close relationships and improving communication to address intimacy and connection struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together the client and therapist decide which strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made.

The profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, or let someone choose a meeting style that uses less bandwidth or no video. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or EFT exercises for remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused on daily life.
