Midge Spong

Midge Spong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience supporting people through major life stressors. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and career concerns. Her work also addresses relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and women's issues.

Midge keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person. She listens first, then asks questions that help people notice what is already working. From there she and the client set simple, usable goals and next steps. This makes progress feel doable and not overwhelming.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has combined social work with life and career coaching skills to support changes in work, health, and retirement planning. This mix informs a practical approach that blends emotional care with action planning.

In sessions she uses clear, straightforward tools drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She helps clients spot unhelpful patterns, weigh options, and try small experiments that build confidence over time.

Midge aims to help people reclaim purpose and move toward goals they value. She invites clients to bring real-life concerns and leaves space for grief and loss alongside planning for the future. People who want a listening ear plus actionable steps may find her approach fits their needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Midge uses methods that are easy to understand and put into practice. Client-centered therapy means she starts by listening and shaping the work around each person's needs and values. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and a gentle guide to clearer thinking.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In short, it helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small behavioral changes that reduce stress or anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical next steps and what a better week would look like, which can be useful for career planning and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and choose techniques based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist is offering before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively across distance when sessions are arranged to suit a client's schedule and practical needs.
