About Midge
Midge Spong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career questions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, depression, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Midge describes herself as someone who helps people sort out what they want and how to get there. She also offers coaching for career, health, and retirement planning alongside counseling work. In practical terms she listens, asks focused questions, and helps people notice strengths they may be overlooking.
Her approach mixes client-centered listening with practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. That means conversations combine open listening with down-to-earth tools and steps to try between sessions. Motivational interviewing is also part of how she helps people build momentum toward goals.
In sessions she often clarifies immediate problems, identifies small changes to try, and helps people set realistic goals. She works with everyday life issues such as balancing work and parenting, coping with loss, and managing anxiety and stress. The aim is to offer straightforward help that fits each person's life and rhythms.
Midge has a long background in social work and coaching. She draws on that experience to help adults make practical changes, plan next steps, and feel more able to manage demanding situations at home and work.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Midge uses client-centered therapy to focus conversations on what matters most to the person. That approach emphasizes active listening and helping clients feel heard, which can make it easier to identify priorities and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides clear tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes; it often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring their reasons and building motivation one step at a time.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Midge will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and grounded in real-life needs.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit around parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities because they reduce travel and can be scheduled during short breaks. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or camera-free options when those formats suit a client better. Ask about session length and format when scheduling to make sure they fit your routine.
