About Joanette

Joanette Pulskamp-Jackson is a licensed social worker with 24 years of clinical experience. She holds LCSW, CSW, and LISW credentials and practices in Colorado. Joanette focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and a wide range of relationship and life-change concerns.

Her style is calm and straightforward. Sessions are client-centered and practical. She helps people name problems, try small changes, and build skills they can use at home.

Background and approach

Joanette draws from several evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She mixes tools from different methods to fit each person’s needs rather than using a single script. Over two decades of practice have given her experience with trauma and with longer-term struggles such as bipolar disorder, addiction, and caregiver stress.

She also works with issues like parenting, blended family dynamics, attachment concerns, and aging-related stress. Sessions are available in English and Joanette accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding emotions and improving connection in relationships by helping people express needs and respond to one another more effectively.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapy can combine methods and evolve over time as progress is made and goals shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work obligations, and maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, offer coaching between sessions, and keep regular contact in ways that suit each person.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
