About Joshua
Joshua Heying is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina who draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside complementary therapeutic methods to help clients manage symptoms and navigate life transitions.
Background and approach
With eight years of professional experience, he focuses on practical skills and collaborative problem solving to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and stress-related problems.
His style prioritizes the therapeutic relationship while integrating evidence-informed strategies like CBT, acceptance and commitment principles, and client-centered listening to tailor care to individual needs. Additional focus areas include issues such as ADHD, body image, communication problems, codependency, blended family dynamics, and a range of intimacy and attachment-related concerns.
Joshua works with adults on challenges ranging from sleep and eating difficulties to career stress and compassion fatigue, aiming to make everyday life more manageable. Joshua values a pragmatic, strengths-based orientation that emphasizes clear goals and skills practice within sessions.
Prospective clients can expect collaborative planning that respects their preferences and life context while using a mix of therapeutic tools to support change and coping.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and coping with life stressors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-guided action and learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals, which can help with issues like depression, grief, and chronic stress.Joshua approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic method is part of the work. He partners with clients to weigh goals, preferences, and lived experience, adapting techniques from CBT, ACT, client-centered listening, DBT skills, and mindfulness to create a personalized plan rather than prescribing a single method up front.
Online therapy through his practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during transitions, and use different formats for skill practice between meetings, all while keeping the focus on practical progress and consistent support.
