Susan Sturdivant-Miles

Susan Sturdivant-Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. Her approach aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about thoughts and feelings.

In sessions she focuses on practical conversations and small, manageable steps. She listens first and then helps clients clarify what matters most to them. That can mean learning new ways to handle anxiety, improving communication, or finding steadier routines during big life changes.

Susan draws from several therapeutic approaches. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods guide supportive, relationship-focused work.

She supports parents dealing with stress and the strain of caregiving, and she addresses complex topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and body image. Susan also works with personality-related concerns and codependency that affect relationships and daily functioning.

Sessions are intended to feel collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Susan encourages people to set realistic goals and track small wins. If you are considering therapy for coping with life changes or ongoing stress, she helps you take the first steps toward more balance and resilience.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often focus on practical exercises and clarifying what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches small experiments to test new behaviors and reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections, offering a chance to practice different ways of relating in sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify the best fit based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust methods over time rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier by allowing sessions to fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, or avoid the need to be on camera for every appointment. It also supports continuity of care through periods of change, letting people keep momentum when life gets busy.
