About Joshua
Joshua Sheets is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with nine years of experience as a therapist. He helps people who feel stuck by focusing on small, practical steps that add up to real change. His approach is straightforward and goal oriented.
He often guides clients through thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that keep them from moving forward. Joshua blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused methods to address concerns like stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and grief.
Background and approach
He pays attention to how physical health, values, and relationships affect emotional well-being. Sessions aim to build useful skills rather than rely on long-term talk alone. He works with people facing parenting challenges, career stress, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, and issues with self-esteem.
Joshua also supports people dealing with mood disorders, ADHD, eating or food-related concerns, and men’s or fatherhood topics. He includes practical coaching when clients want action-oriented tools. In sessions he offers direct, nonjudgmental feedback and helps clients set small, achievable goals between meetings.
The change process is collaborative: Joshua helps identify strengths and creates step-by-step plans to reach specific goals. Progress is framed as a series of small gains rather than a long, uncertain journey. For people managing panic, social anxiety, compassion fatigue, or hospice and end-of-life concerns, he focuses on coping skills and problem-solving.
Joshua aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful, so people can see differences without years of treatment.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Joshua uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and homework that can be done between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or address mood problems.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness techniques are taught in short exercises that fit well into video or phone sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then he and the client pick strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be a quick way to check in or handle brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reach support from different locations.
