Midge Spong

Midge Spong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She also supports those wrestling with self-esteem, career choices, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue. Midge’s manner is straightforward and warm, and she aims to make conversations feel clear and useful from the first visit.

Midge graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Master’s in Social Work. She also holds coaching credentials in life, career, health, and retirement coaching, and uses those skills to help people clarify goals and practical next steps. Her background includes a decade of practice working with life purpose and women’s issues alongside aging and hospice-related concerns.

In sessions she listens first. She believes people heal when they feel heard and understood, and she asks focused questions to open new perspectives. Midge blends client-centered conversation with concrete tools so people leave with ideas they can try between sessions.

Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns and solution-focused strategies to build small, achievable changes. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find their own reasons to move forward. The overall aim is practical progress toward goals that matter to each person.

Midge works with individuals who want help navigating life changes, grief, career shifts, ADHD challenges, and parenting stress. She encourages people to notice strengths they already have and to put those strengths to work. To begin, she invites prospective clients to describe their goals so they can make a plan together.

How Midge Uses Practical Approaches Online

Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people feel seen before moving to goals or skill-building. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Midge uses simple CBT techniques to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and to test small changes that can alter mood and action. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, doable steps and quick wins to build momentum toward a clearer goal.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, preferences, and goals and then try methods that fit. If something isn’t working, the plan can shift so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow for consistent follow-up and steady progress while people manage changes at home, work, or during transitions.
