About Susan
Susan Sturdivant-Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Susan talks plainly about problems and works with people to identify what is most stressful now.
She uses clear, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she draws on to break patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy when these fit a person’s goals.
Sessions include practical skills for handling anxiety and for improving communication in relationships. She helps clients try different ways of responding to old reactions and tests those ideas in everyday life. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow down reactions and increase awareness of choices in the moment.
Susan pays attention to how early attachment and family patterns shape current relationships. Client-Centered Therapy informs her listening style and how she structures goals with clients. Motivational Interviewing can be used to support commitment to change when someone feels stuck.
Her work is straightforward and focused on what you want to change next. She asks specific questions, suggests doable exercises, and checks progress at each step. To begin, she guides people through a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Susan often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT gives concrete exercises and short skills to practice between sessions, which can work well over remote appointments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and to accept difficult thoughts while taking actions that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and helps improve communication and connection in present relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different methods and agree on what to try based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made and new problems emerge.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and between-session tasks in real-life settings, which supports practicing skills where problems actually happen.
