About Midge

Midge Spong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Life Coach who combines clinical training with practical coaching skills to help people navigate change and pursue meaningful goals. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1993 and brings specialized certifications in career, health, and retirement coaching to her practice, supporting clients with career planning, health goals, and transitions into later life.

Midge has extensive experience addressing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting and family dynamics, workplace challenges, and relationship concerns. She also works with issues such as depression, ADHD, compassion fatigue, coping with life changes, and questions about life purpose, with additional focus on aging and geriatric topics as well as hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that people heal when they feel heard and understood, and that a thoughtful question or fresh viewpoint can open new possibilities. Midge emphasizes strengths and practical steps, helping people identify overlooked skills and apply them to overcome obstacles and build the life they want. She welcomes conversations with those seeking support for emotional challenges, career decisions, family matters, or personal growth.

Approaches and Online Access to Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead, listens attentively, and helps the person explore values and choices - this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to shift them, which can be effective for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation to make meaningful changes, often used in career transitions, health goals, and habit change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Midge works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy aligns with the client’s priorities and readiness.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to connect from home, during work breaks, or while traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions to these formats, making regular care more manageable for busy schedules and varied life circumstances.
