About Midge
Midge Spong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She uses a straightforward, person-centered style to listen, ask useful questions, and help clients find practical steps forward. Her approach suits people facing grief, career questions, relationship tensions, or big life transitions.
Midge brings ten years of clinical experience and a background in coaching to her work. She combines listening with goal-focused tools to help people clarify what they want and how to get there.
Background and approach
Sessions often include short-term problem solving alongside deeper reflection about values and purpose. Her methods draw on client-centered practice and cognitive behavioral ideas. That means conversations start with the client's concerns and then explore thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck.
Midge also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people set realistic goals and notice small changes that matter. She has particular interest in issues that touch aging, hospice and end-of-life questions, women's issues, and coping with compassion fatigue. She also supports people managing ADHD, parenting pressures, and workplace stress.
Midge works with adults who want both practical coaching and therapeutic support. Midge is based in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. She invites people who are ready to make changes to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what is said, asks clarifying questions, and helps people feel understood so they can explore their priorities and values. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It uses practical exercises to test beliefs and change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with stress by teaching skills people can use between sessions.
Midge treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on skill-building, problem-solving, or deeper reflection, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can fit into busy schedules and allow ongoing reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel commitments while still working toward meaningful change.
