About Joshua
Joshua Heying is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of professional experience. He works with adults on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and anger. He also addresses issues related to LGBT concerns, parenting, grief, trauma, and addictions.
Josh approaches therapy as a working relationship. He favors clear, practical methods that help people manage day-to-day life. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings - for example managing strong feelings, improving communication, and reducing repetitive worry.
His background includes community mental health and crisis intervention, with experience in residential treatment and school-based settings. That history informs a hands-on style that blends short-term problem-solving with attention to longer patterns in behavior and relationships.
Therapeutic tools he uses include cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and client-centered principles. He aims to match techniques to the problem at hand so people learn what actually helps them in real situations.
People come to Josh for a range of concerns beyond anger, including bipolar mood issues, ADHD, intimacy-related struggles, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career stress. He also works with topics such as attachment problems, body image, caregiving strain, and separation or divorce.

How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking practical steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anger gets in the way of living according to what matters to someone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. That is useful for reducing reactive thinking and changing habitual responses to triggers. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions, which can be helpful for strong, recurring anger. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist treats approach selection as collaborative, using the client’s goals, preferences, and life demands to shape sessions. He will review techniques and adjust them based on what actually fits the person’s situation. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. For many people, working online makes practicing new skills between sessions more practical and helps maintain continuity when life gets hectic.Areas of focus
