About Susan
Susan Sturdivant-Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family matters, parenting, and coping with life changes.
Susan helps people talk through overwhelming feelings and the everyday strain of parenting. She uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based techniques to reduce anxiety and improve communication. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps a person can take between meetings.
Her work often addresses attachment and relationship patterns that keep problems repeating. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness strategies are used to calm the nervous system and increase present-moment awareness.
For family and parenting concerns she helps individuals sort roles, expectations, and limits. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and changes after loss or abandonment. Conversations are aimed at clearer boundaries and steadier responses under pressure.
Susan integrates client-centered listening with techniques that prompt real-world changes. She uses motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and sustain commitment to them. People meet to set small, practical goals and track what works over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action in spite of worry or fear. It focuses on committing to small, values-based steps while accepting uncomfortable feelings that arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This can help reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day problem solving. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns that shape how people relate to partners and family; it helps identify old dynamics and try different responses. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences, and immediate needs. That decision may shift over time as progress and priorities change. Confirm the specific online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use exercises, breathing practices, and behavioral experiments that clients try between sessions to make progress in everyday life.Areas of focus
