About Joanette
Joanette Pulskamp-Jackson is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She sees people who are facing hard transitions and offers a steady, respectful presence as they work toward clearer goals. Joanette holds LCSW, CSW, and LISW credentials and practices in Colorado while accepting international clients who can work in English.
Her style is approachable and calm. She creates space for people to tell their stories and notices what matters most to them. Sessions focus on building useful skills, improving communication, and increasing emotional awareness rather than on labels or quick fixes.
Joanette uses practical, evidence-informed methods to support coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and addiction concerns. She also helps people manage stress, caregiver strain, ADHD, and intimacy or relationship difficulties. Adoption and foster care is listed among the areas she focuses on for people navigating those specific challenges.
She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods with elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. This mix lets her tailor work to each person’s needs, whether the focus is symptoms, behavior change, or emotional connection.
Clients can expect collaborative goal setting and down-to-earth strategies to try between sessions. The aim is steady progress you can notice in everyday life, such as better sleep, clearer boundaries, or improved responses to stress.
Approach choices and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own pace. It supports people who need a nonjudgmental space to process grief, identity questions, or relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
