About Joshua
Joshua Heying is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. He draws on several clinical methods to help people manage everyday life more easily. Joshua presents as calm and straightforward and focuses on practical steps more than clinical jargon.
He has eight years of experience in social work and community-based practice. Over that time he has supported people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, and grief. He also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, self-esteem, career stress, and questions around parenting and blended families.
Joshua uses a mix of approaches in sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. He adapts techniques to each person’s needs and works collaboratively to set goals and build practical skills.
Sleep and rest concerns are part of his focus areas, and he will talk through routines, habits, and coping strategies that can support better rest. He also addresses related issues such as eating, body image, and caregiver stress that can affect sleep.
Joshua emphasizes a trusting relationship as the foundation of work together. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to his availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing clear, manageable skills to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in high-intensity situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That discussion guides a shared plan that may combine ACT, CBT, DBT, or client-centered and mindfulness practices to match what the person needs.
If you are considering online work, confirm the available session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions can include easier fitting of appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when time is limited, or options that use less bandwidth when video is difficult. A collaborative first session will cover how sessions will run and which approaches will be used to address concerns like sleep, anxiety, or stress.
