About Spring

Spring Hardy is a licensed LMSW in Michigan with 24 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and family challenges.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical tools for emotional regulation, improving self-esteem, and navigating parenting and career concerns, while also addressing areas such as ADHD, social anxiety, and recovery from abuse. Her practice emphasizes a respectful, person-centered stance that honors each individual’s story and cultural background.

Spring blends evidence-based techniques with a collaborative, empathic style so clients can explore strengths, process difficult memories, and build day-to-day coping strategies. She also works with situations related to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and intellectual disability, financial stress, and other life stressors.

Throughout her career she has aimed to create a steady, outcomes-minded space where clients set goals and learn concrete approaches for change. Spring offers support for urgency-driven problems like impulsivity and hoarding as well as longer-term growth around forgiveness, self-love, and rebuilding after sexual assault or domestic violence.

Online approaches that guide problem solving and growth

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and social fears. It offers structured tools for changing thought-behavior cycles and developing practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own capacity for growth; this approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore personal values, self-esteem, and relational concerns.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to consider goals, preferences, and how symptoms are showing up in daily life, then adapt strategies from CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness as needed. This flexible, team-oriented method helps tailor sessions to short-term problem solving or deeper personal development.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and scheduling. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide a straightforward alternative, and live chat or text messaging allow ongoing check-ins and flexibility between appointments. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals while fitting therapy into a busy life.
