About Midge
Midge Spong greets people with a calm, straightforward style. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Her work often focuses on practical steps for career planning, parenting concerns, and improving self-esteem.
Midge uses a coaching mindset alongside counseling to help people set goals and move toward them. She listens for strengths that are easy to miss and points out small changes that produce real results.
How Midge works
Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to each person. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a decade of clinical experience. She also holds life coaching credentials and additional certifications in career, health, and retirement coaching.
Those qualifications shape a problem-solving approach that blends support with action. In practice she combines client-centered work with evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused strategies. That mix allows her to both hear a person's story and offer concrete tools for stress, low mood, or coping with loss.
Motivational interviewing informs how she helps people find their own reasons to change. Midge is comfortable helping people navigate compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life matters, and questions about life purpose and women's issues. She aims to make sessions feel like a steady, practical conversation that leaves people with clear next steps.

How Midge’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist reflects what she hears and follows the person's pace, which helps people feel heard and clearer about their next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors for anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Midge will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and then adding CBT tools or solution-focused steps once priorities are clearer.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try approaches that suit an individual's routine and needs.
