Midge Spong

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 uncertainty, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. Sessions happen in straightforward language and aim to help people clarify what matters next.

She uses a mix of approaches to fit the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Midge likes to listen first and then offer a different way to look at problems. That might mean identifying small steps to reduce anxiety, reworking unhelpful thinking patterns, or focusing on specific goals for career or life purpose work.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earned in 1993. Over the years she has combined clinical practice with life and career coaching ideas to support people juggling work, caregiving, and aging concerns. That experience informs practical conversations about retirement, hospice and end-of-life topics, and later-life transitions.

In sessions she asks concrete questions and offers options to try between meetings. This can include setting short experiments, shifting daily routines, or practicing new ways of thinking about setbacks. The focus is on small, achievable changes that add up over time.

People who want help clarifying goals or making a plan for the next stage of life often find her style useful. She welcomes international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, follow the site steps to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Midge uses therapeutic methods in remote sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It's useful when someone needs to sort out feelings, feel heard, and figure out personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people who want concrete tools to reduce anxiety, shift moods, or change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, routines, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she will suggest methods and check in to adjust them so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so appointments are easier to keep. If a shorter check-in or an appointment that doesn't require being on camera would help on a particular day, discuss that option when you schedule. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how appointments are run.
