About Joanette
Joanette Pulskamp-Jackson is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of practice supporting people through hard life moments. She holds LCSW, CSW, and LISW credentials and sees clients in Colorado. Her work focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce distress and build coping skills.
Joanette creates an affirming atmosphere where clients can talk through experiences like grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression. She helps people develop clearer communication, manage stress, and address relationship and intimacy challenges. Financial and money-related stress is one area she addresses as part of broader life strain.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with varied concerns, including addiction, caregiver strain, ADHD, and issues that arise from family of origin and attachment problems. She draws on several evidence-informed methods to tailor support to each person. Joanette aims to meet people where they are and set achievable goals together.
Sessions emphasize concrete skills alongside exploration of feelings. Clients work on thinking and behavior patterns, emotion regulation, and values-driven action. She also supports people coping with major life changes, chronic illness, and grief.
To begin, Joanette asks people to share what matters most to them and what they hope to change. She uses that information to build a collaborative plan focused on real-life improvements and sustained coping.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools for shifting unhelpful patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people map and process strong emotions tied to relationships and attachment to improve communication and emotional connection. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanette will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day without travel. If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the specific formats Joanette currently offers before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Many people find online sessions helpful for steady follow-up, skills practice between meetings, and managing ongoing life demands while still doing therapeutic work.Areas of focus
