About Joshua
Joshua Heying is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with eight years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people manage daily stressors and long-standing problems so life feels more manageable. Joshua lists anger among his areas of focus alongside anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and LGBT concerns.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Joshua relies on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies to address patterns that feed anger and frustration. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered conversation to clarify values and goals.
In practice Joshua draws on work in community mental health, crisis intervention, residential settings, and school-based counseling. That background informs how he helps people who are facing trauma, mood disorders, addiction, or complex family issues. He emphasizes building a trusting working relationship first, then adding skills and perspectives that fit the person’s life.
Joshua’s style is focused on concrete skills - communication, coping tools, and ways to reduce intense reactions. He talks through how behaviors and thoughts contribute to repeated conflicts and helps people try different responses. Sessions also cover practical concerns like sleep, substance use, and caregiving stress when those affect anger.
People can expect a mix of short-term problem-solving and longer work on patterns that recur. Joshua uses plain language during sessions and invites clients to set goals they care about. To start, follow the platform steps to match and schedule a first session.
How his approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It can help reduce avoidance and the build-up of resentment that often feeds angry reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns and reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when tension rises.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joshua will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions typically combine skills practice with checking how those skills worked in real situations and adjusting plans together.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try skills in between sessions and bring real-life situations into discussion without changing the core focus on behavior, thoughts, and practical coping.
