Hi,
My name is Midge Spong. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from UNC- Chapel Hill in 1993 with my Master’s in Social Work. I am also a Certified Life Coach, which basically means I can help people figure out what they want to do, or where they want to go, and help them figure out how to achieve these goals. In addition to this, I also have certifications in Career, Health, and Retirement coaching.
I am experienced in working with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting, family and workplace issues, as well as grief and loss. I also have experience, and especially enjoy, helping people with their career planning and health coaching.
I approach counseling with the philosophy that we heal best when we feel heard and understood. I also think that sometimes a fresh perspective, or someone to offer a thought-provoking question or insight, helps us see things differently, and can often lift us up. I consider myself privileged to help people share, explore, and discover more about themselves.
Everyone has challenges and frustrations, but we also have strengths and skills. I love to help people see the strengths they often overlook and figure out how to use them to overcome their challenges and create the life they want! If that sounds like what you are looking for, I look forward to talking with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I would not want to work with anyone else!
I tell all my friends about BH and how much help Midge is for me. I love her and I love this way of counseling so much better than the traditional way.
Amazing therapist! She helped me in so many ways ro improve myself and motivate me to get things done. I love that she is not judgmental and has true compassion for you. She really has your success at heart in all areas of life.
Midge is a wonderfull listener!
I've only had a couple of sessions with Midge and have already got so much out of them! She created a safe and open space straight away and is helping me to better understand myself which helps so much with figuring out why I feel certain ways. She really focuses on the positives, highlights my strengths and makes me feel valued and respected. Have left both sessions with a lot to reflect on!
Midge is brilliant. I feel completely comfortable talking to her. She has a great way of making me feel calm, understood and validated. I have learned something new about myself in every session and I am so thankful for her wisdom and kindness. Much more than I could ever have hoped for. Thank you
Midge made me feel heard and understood. She remembered all the names of the people in my life, she really listens and gives you her undivided attention. It really feels like she genuinely cares about you. She also helped pull me out of a very deep depressive episode. I cannot recommend her enough.
Midge is a great counselor
She is amazing! I feel she is genuine and truly cares, a good listen and gives valuable feedback. I was very uneasy with the idea of talking to someone but actually look forward to it each and every week right now! So glad I decided to do this. Thanks so much!!
Midge is very sweet. I have only had a couple of sessions with her, so I feel like there is much more to dive into, but I feel very respected and heard by her so far!
She’s wonderful. I cannot wait to keep working with her. She’s amazing.
Midge is fantastic! I have only been working with her for 2-weeks and can see improvement. I appreciate her wise, insightful and kind approach. I feel so free to speak with her. Thank you Midge!
