About Joshua

Joshua Heying is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with eight years of experience in the mental health field. As an LCSW, he is trained and licensed to provide clinical social work and psychotherapy, bringing a practical, strengths-focused approach to helping people manage everyday life more effectively.

He has worked across adolescent and adult community mental health and crisis intervention settings, including residential treatment, school-based counseling, and family therapy. His clinical background includes work with LGBT issues, personality disorders, parenting challenges, severe and persistent mental illness, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, family conflict, and trauma. That breadth of experience informs a flexible, person-centered practice that emphasizes the relationship between therapist and client as the foundation for meaningful change.

Joshua draws from a range of evidence-informed approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs, blending cognitive-behavioral strategies with acceptance-based and mindfulness practices as well as client-centered techniques. He aims to translate clinical knowledge into practical tools clients can use day to day, supporting goals like improved coping, better communication, and greater emotional balance. Joshua welcomes the work of collaborating with individuals to identify goals and develop clear, realistic steps toward them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Joshua integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques in his online work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-driven action - it can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, providing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support people coping with intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns of impulsivity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Joshua works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods so treatment feels relevant and achievable. That collaborative stance helps identify which tools and strategies will be most useful in a given situation.

Online therapy with Joshua is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access support from familiar surroundings while working with a licensed professional.
