About Joanette
Joanette Pulskamp-Jackson is a licensed social worker with 24 years of clinical experience. She practices in Colorado and brings a steady, practical approach to helping people through difficult times. Joanette focuses on clear goals and simple steps people can use between sessions.
She offers a calm, accepting space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, addictions, and anger. Joanette listens first and then helps people choose tools that fit their day-to-day lives.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on coping skills, communication, and managing strong emotions. Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to make change feel doable. She combines these methods to help people reduce distress and build routines that support long-term wellbeing.
Joanette also uses ideas from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those perspectives help. Joanette has experience with a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, caregiver burnout, relationship and intimacy challenges, attention differences, and issues tied to adoption or family history. She also supports people dealing with medical challenges like cancer and the stress that comes with caregiving.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and Joanette works with people in English. She accepts international clients. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going, which helps with depression, anxiety, sleep, and some addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and can explore their goals at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanette will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. She uses that conversation to recommend techniques and adjusts the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging can be used for short updates or reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep continuity and practice skills in everyday life.
