About Joanette

Joanette Pulskamp-Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with licensure in Colorado (LCSW) and Ohio (LISW) and more than 24 years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also helps people address family of origin issues and parenting strain.

Her approach is grounded in client-centered care. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She listens for patterns that come from the family someone grew up in and helps people see how those patterns affect current relationships and behavior.

Joanette uses a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She draws on these approaches to teach skills for managing strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thinking, and improving communication.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace. Work may include identifying unhelpful family roles, practicing new ways of setting boundaries, and experimenting with different responses to stress. She also addresses related concerns such as sleep, eating, attention, and caregiver stress.

Joanette has supported people through life transitions for more than two decades. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions to move toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It involves testing and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleeping problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try approaches that fit the client's goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape which methods are emphasized in sessions.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography did not list specific formats. Ask about the available ways to meet when you complete the short matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule around work or caregiving responsibilities.
