Katie Sheets , LCSW

Katie Sheets is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She brings six years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families and has also worked internationally in Italy, Japan, and South Korea, which contributes to a broadened perspective on cultural and life transitions.

Katie uses a strengths-based, solution-focused framework and frequently incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She explains CBT as a practical way to notice patterns of thinking and develop clearer, more effective responses to difficult situations. Therapy is tailored to each person rather than following a single method, and she adapts modalities to match each client’s needs and goals.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship and family issues, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT-related matters, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, coaching needs, and compassion fatigue. Katie emphasizes a respectful, strengths-oriented approach and aims to support people as they explore what a meaningful, fulfilling life looks like for them.

Evidence-based approaches delivered through online care

Katie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn skills to respond to stress, anxiety, and mood concerns more effectively. She also applies a strengths-based, solution-focused approach that emphasizes a person’s existing resources and small, actionable steps to reach goals and manage life transitions. These methods are well suited to addressing relationship challenges, grief, coping with change, and everyday stressors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Katie collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques to fit what will be most helpful. Therapy is a joint process of exploration and practical skill-building.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to access care around a busy life. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow ongoing support across different settings, and help people connect with licensed professionals in ways that match their comfort and practical needs.
