Midge Spong

Midge Spong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and career questions. She focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and move toward goals. Her style is warm and curious, and she offers a calm space to talk things through.

She uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice strengths they already have. Midge encourages people to try small changes and to reflect on what works. She also brings coaching skills to career planning and health-related goals so conversations often include action steps and follow-up ideas.

Midge trained at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning a Master’s in Social Work. She has a decade of practice as an LCSW and has added life coaching tools to support practical goal-setting. That mix of counseling and coaching helps when people face transitions, workplace stress, or caregiving and end-of-life concerns.

Typical sessions include exploring what matters most, identifying obstacles, and choosing manageable next steps. She often uses techniques from Client-Centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe thoughts and test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas also appear in sessions to keep the focus on doable change.

Midge works from North Carolina and speaks English. She can help people who want support with parenting strain, family conflict, compassion fatigue, ADHD challenges, aging or hospice-related issues, or finding more purpose and balance in life.

How these approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. It helps people name what matters and feel supported while they make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and stress, and helps people try small behavior changes to see real results.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then blend methods that fit. Together they will test what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list which online formats are used, so confirm the available session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when things come up. It can also let clients use a quieter setting for focused work, choose shorter sessions for quick planning, or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals tailor each session to what a person needs and to what works in their daily life.
