Midge Spong, LCSW

Midge Spong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She works with individuals on self-esteem, career questions, parenting challenges, and the practical strains that come with caregiving. Midge also lists aging and geriatric issues and hospice and end-of-life counseling among her focuses. She offers a calm, listening presence and aims to help people feel understood.

Midge draws on a mix of coaching and therapy skills to help people clarify goals and take next steps. She uses straightforward conversation to surface strengths that might be easy to miss. That might look like mapping out a career plan, setting small steps for better daily coping, or talking through how to manage grief. Sessions are meant to be practical and focused on what the person wants to change.

She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1993 and holds the LCSW credential. Her background includes work with stress, workplace issues, and health-related concerns. Over a decade of clinical practice shapes how she blends therapeutic listening with goal-oriented coaching.

Midge values questions that open new perspectives rather than simply giving answers. She aims to help people recognize and use their existing strengths. That approach is often useful for those facing life transitions, caregiving responsibilities, or questions about purpose and later-life planning.

People who prefer a collaborative, gentle style may find her approach helpful. She invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to begin with a short matching questionnaire to see if her practice fits their needs.

How these approaches shape online work

Midge uses client-centered conversation to make space for a person's story and priorities. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping someone name what matters most in their life. It can be helpful for grief, aging concerns, or when figuring out life purpose.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns through small, structured steps. That can be useful for stress, ADHD-related difficulties, and coping during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Midge will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors sessions so they are goal-focused and easy to apply between meetings.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving schedules, work breaks, or mobility limits. It also supports steady follow-up, goal tracking, and short coaching check-ins when that suits someone’s routine.
