Joshua Sheets

Joshua Sheets is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in North Carolina with nine years of therapeutic experience. He has worked with clients of various ages and life circumstances on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career obstacles, anger management, motivation, trauma, and chronic pain.

Joshua takes a holistic view of treatment, considering physical well-being, spiritual values, relationships, and emotional and behavioral health when forming a care plan. He believes people can become stuck in recurring patterns of thought or behavior, and he focuses on deliberate, practical changes in viewpoints, thoughts, feelings, or actions that lead to tangible solutions.

In sessions he builds on clients’ existing strengths and helps them identify small, manageable steps toward their goals. He often uses a panning-for-gold metaphor to describe this work - each small step is like a fleck of gold that eventually forms a meaningful nugget of change. Joshua employs a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and Solution Focused Therapy to support progress.

Joshua provides unbiased, nonjudgmental feedback and encourages honest collaboration so clients can get the most from therapy. He emphasizes skill development to address current concerns and to prepare clients to manage future challenges. He expects active effort between sessions and offers guidance and support throughout the change process. Joshua is available to help those who are ready to begin making changes and looks forward to working with new clients.
