About Joshua

Joshua Heying is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 8 years of professional experience helping people manage life’s challenges. A LCSW is a licensed mental health professional trained to provide psychotherapy and clinical assessment, and Heying applies that training across a range of settings and client needs.

He has worked in adolescent and adult community mental health and crisis intervention, with experience that includes residential treatment, school-based counseling, and family therapy. His clinical background covers LGBT+ issues, personality disorders, parenting difficulties, severe and persistent mental illness, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, family conflict, and trauma. That breadth of experience informs a practical approach focused on helping individuals meet concrete goals and make everyday life feel more manageable.

Heying emphasizes the importance of a trusting therapeutic relationship and uses clinical knowledge to support change rather than relying on clinical jargon. He integrates cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, strengths-based, and psychodynamic techniques and tailors these methods to each person’s needs. He recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports clients in working toward meaningful, achievable improvements in their lives.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and situations where avoidance has become a barrier to living fully.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and practical problem solving by teaching skills to shift thinking and build healthier habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT techniques can support people dealing with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns that feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from wherever the client is located.
