Midge Spong, LCSW

Midge Spong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her work often focuses on relationship concerns, career questions, parenting strain, and finding a clearer sense of purpose.

Midge blends goal-focused coaching with traditional counseling to match short-term needs and longer personal growth. She uses practical questions and reflections to help people notice strengths they already have. Sessions often include gentle challenge to prompt new perspectives and small steps that build momentum.

With ten years of clinical experience, she draws on methods from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those approaches shape how she structures conversations without steering the client toward a single path.

Midge trained at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning a Master of Social Work. Her background includes work with people coping with grief, compassion fatigue, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life matters, and women’s life transitions. She is also experienced in career, health, and retirement coaching.

People who choose her often want a calm, practical partner for change. She helps clients set realistic goals, reframe unhelpful thinking, and build routines that support well-being. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches guide online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they feel understood. It helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses small experiments or practice tasks to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and building new routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can help fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also make regular follow-up simpler when someone is managing health concerns, caregiving, or work demands. Licensed professionals tailor pacing, homework, and goals so remote sessions remain practical and focused.
