About Joanette
Joanette Pulskamp-Jackson is a licensed clinical social worker with LCSW, CSW, and LISW credentials and 24 years of experience. She practices in Colorado and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, ADHD, and anger.
She uses practical, conversational therapy to help people sort through what is happening right now. Sessions focus on patterns that lead to repeated anger, anxiety, or low mood. Joanette helps clients notice triggers, try different responses, and set realistic goals for change.
Her background includes long experience with caregiving stress, family of origin issues, and life transitions like divorce and adoption-related concerns. She draws on a mix of evidence-based approaches to address emotions, behavior, and relationships without jargon. Clients work on skills for managing intense feelings and for improving communication with others.
Joanette integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools when helpful. She aims to match practical strategies to the problem at hand, whether that is sleep disruption, substance use, or ongoing resentment.
People who come for help with anger often leave with clearer plans for how to pause before reacting, repair strained relationships, and reduce the frequency of heated episodes. She also supports those coping with grief, caregiving burnout, and major life changes.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session where goals and next steps are discussed.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward those values, which can be useful for anger, avoidance, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive patterns, which can lower the frequency of angry outbursts.
Joanette treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life, and she adjusts strategies based on what helps most in early sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can also tailor exercises you practice between sessions so work on anger and coping skills continues between appointments.
