About Joshua
Joshua Heying is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage everyday life more easily. He draws on practical therapy approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and money and financial issues among other concerns.
He emphasizes a trusting relationship first. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Joshua mixes methods to match what each person needs rather than relying on labels or jargon.
Joshua has eight years of experience in social work and clinical settings across North Carolina. His background includes work in community mental health, crisis intervention, residential treatment, school-based counseling, and family-focused care. That experience informs how he helps people with grief, trauma, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other complex difficulties.
He uses a range of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those tools are used to address things like coping with life changes, improving communication, managing mood swings, and building more steady routines for sleep and eating.
Joshua aims to tailor sessions to each person's goals and strengths. He encourages clear steps and practical skills so people can try new ways of handling problems between sessions. To start, he asks people to share what matters most to them and then crafts a plan that fits their needs.
How his approaches translate to online work
Joshua uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them, which helps when people feel stuck or overwhelmed. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the relationship at the heart of work. That means the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters, and helps people set goals that fit their life. Deciding which approach or mix to use is a collaborative process based on the person's goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Joshua will work with each person to choose approaches and a rhythm of sessions that fit their everyday life.
