About Joshua
Joshua Heying is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people manage everyday stressors and mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and codependency. Joshua also works with issues around sexuality and LGBT topics, grief, parenting strain, and ADHD.
Joshua describes therapy as grounded in a trusting relationship rather than clinical jargon. He uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people set goals and try new ways of coping. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and strategies for handling strong emotions.
His approach draws on well-known methods including cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior skills, acceptance and mindfulness practices, and client-centered listening. He blends these tools to address problems like impulsive behaviors, recurring relationship patterns, and difficulty saying no. Joshua aims to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values.
Joshua has experience from community mental health settings, school-based counseling, residential treatment, and crisis work. That background informs practical strategies for people dealing with mood disorders, trauma, and ongoing life stress. He offers direct, task-focused support alongside longer conversations about long-standing patterns.
People who reach out can expect clear language and actionable suggestions. Joshua encourages collaboration on goals and adjusts the mix of techniques to match each person's needs. To begin, readers should follow the site's process to view online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify personal values and take small steps toward them even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for people who keep putting others first or who want clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice between sessions. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and behavior patterns that fuel codependent interactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication in stressful relationships.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Joshua will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He mixes techniques as needed and checks in about what helps and what does not.
The therapist's original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people choose whether to be on camera. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice new skills in day-to-day life and bring real examples to talk about during appointments.
