About Susan
Susan Sturdivant-Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on easing stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone juggling family and everyday demands. Susan draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice small changes.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take steps toward it.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical rather than academic. She pays attention to relationship and family concerns, including communication problems, blended family stress, and parenting strains. Susan also works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, and adoption and foster care histories.
She helps people who face control issues, codependency, or difficulty coping after a disaster. Over 12 years of practice, Susan has developed a straightforward style. She listens, reflects, and offers exercises that can be used between sessions.
The goal is to make therapy feel useful from the start, with steps that fit day-to-day life. Susan welcomes people who want practical tools and steady support while they work through life changes. She aims to help clients find clearer choices, stronger communication, and calmer responses to stress and anxiety.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them even when anxiety or worry gets loud. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce stress and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to calm reactivity and increase focus during tense moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy routine. Video lets for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people maintain consistent progress while managing family and work demands.
