About Joanette
Joanette Pulskamp-Jackson is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She practices in Colorado and brings a calm, steady presence to people who are juggling hard emotions and life changes. She focuses on issues like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and parenting concerns.
She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, anger, sleep and eating struggles, and coping with major life transitions. Her style is client-centered and collaborative.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people name what matters, notice unhelpful patterns, and try new ways of responding. She favors straightforward tools people can use between sessions to reduce distress and build momentum. Joanette draws on several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.
She matches the approach to the person's goals and circumstances rather than sticking to a single method. She brings particular attention to issues such as caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and family of origin patterns, and challenges tied to aging or chronic illness. Joanette is licensed in Colorado and Ohio as LCSW and LISW and conducts therapy in English.
People who prefer clear guidance, practical exercises, and an empathetic listener often find this approach useful. The work is paced to each person's needs and aims to build more reliable ways to manage daily life.

How therapies like ACT, CBT, and EFT work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. Online ACT sessions focus on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that align with personal goals, which helps with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In teletherapy, CBT provides concrete tools such as behavioral experiments and thought records to reduce panic, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and changing patterns in close relationships. Remotely, EFT helps people name recurring interaction cycles, practice new responses, and improve connection and communication.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or texts can support brief processing, homework check-ins, or flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the clinical focus on skill-building and emotional work.
