About Midge
Midge Spong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people think through problems and set manageable goals. Her approach often includes coaching around career, health, retirement, and parenting concerns.
Midge works with adults who want straightforward support and tools to move forward. Midge earned her Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1993 and holds the LCSW credential.
Background and approach
She has about 10 years of documented clinical experience and also has coaching credentials in career, health, and retirement planning. That mix informs a practical, goal-oriented style that still centers each person's experience. In sessions she focuses on making people feel heard and understood.
She asks questions that help uncover strengths people may overlook. Then she and the client set small, realistic steps to test new ways of coping or problem solving. Midge uses tools from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when people want to clarify goals or build momentum. These options are mixed to suit each person's needs. People seeking help for ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, or issues around aging and end-of-life care can find practical strategies and coaching-style planning here.
Midge aims to make the work manageable and useful for daily life. If someone wants help clarifying priorities or taking practical steps, she offers collaborative support.
How Midge brings therapeutic approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and find their own direction when dealing with stress or grief. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and daily functioning and gives concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, skill-building from CBT, or brief solution-focused work to reach immediate goals.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation when more depth is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or steady accountability between sessions. These options support consistent work on stress, ADHD-related routines, career planning, and grief without needing to travel.
