Joanette Pulskamp-Jackson, LCSW, CSW, LISW

Joanette Pulskamp-Jackson is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She practices in Colorado and brings steady, practical support to people facing major life changes and emotional strain.

She creates a calm, affirming atmosphere where clients can talk through tough feelings. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. The tone is collaborative and grounded in day-to-day reality rather than jargon.

Joanette works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar presentations.

Her background includes work with caregiver stress, cancer-related distress, adoption and foster care questions, attachment and family of origin issues, and problems that arise after divorce or separation. She draws on methods that encourage acceptance, emotion awareness, and practical skills to manage difficult moments.

In sessions she blends person-centered listening with evidence-informed tools. That can mean learning new ways to handle strong emotions, practicing communication techniques, or developing a plan to cope with life transitions. People leave with concrete steps to try and a clearer sense of how to move forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in Joanette's practice focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to values-based actions that move life forward. It often helps with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and coping with health changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, and can be helpful for panic, low mood, sleep difficulties, and managing day-to-day routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanette treats clients and therapists as partners in deciding what methods to use. She will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust direction based on how things are going and what the client prefers.

The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life. Many people appreciate not having to travel and being able to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm available formats before booking to see what will work best for meetings and follow-ups.
