About Susan
Susan Sturdivant-Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family tensions, and parenting challenges. Her work emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what’s on their mind and be heard.
In sessions she encourages practical steps and clear goals. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live in line with their values. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce overwhelm and bring attention back to the present moment.
Attachment-Based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and communication problems. That lens is useful for people managing abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment worries.
She supports clients coping with life changes, including the stress that follows natural or human-caused disasters. Sessions can also address caregiver stress, body image, codependency, control and commitment struggles, and co-morbidity concerns.
Susan aims to work collaboratively, helping each person identify small, doable steps toward better day-to-day functioning. She focuses on clear, practical strategies rather than jargon. To begin, people are invited to describe their current problem and goals so the plan can match what they actually need.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical exercises that people can practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate to others and communicate needs. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as progress is made or challenges change. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy day, avoid travel time, and make it easier to keep appointments during transitions. Online sessions also let people use shorter check-ins, focus on written exercises or mindfulness practice, and maintain continuity when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting so that skills and relationship patterns are addressed even when meeting remotely.Areas of expertise
