About Susan

Susan Sturdivant-Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family tension, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take small, steady steps toward feeling better.

Susan draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current patterns. She pairs that with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness strategies are also used to help clients tolerate difficult feelings and clarify personal values. Sessions are client-centered and collaborative. Susan creates a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and worked through.

Conversations focus on real-life problems and on small, manageable changes that fit each person’s day-to-day life. She has worked across a range of concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, blended family stress, caregiver strain, codependency, and communication problems. Susan also addresses personality-related patterns such as avoidant, dependent, and antisocial tendencies when they impact relationships and daily functioning.

Susan offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She helps people clarify goals, practice new skills, and track progress over time. If someone wants a calm, practical approach that connects past patterns to current choices, she can provide steady support.

Online support

Attachment-informed and Practical Approaches Online

Susan uses attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships influence current behavior and emotional patterns. This helps identify recurring themes in relationships and how people react under stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT offers clear, step-by-step techniques for managing anxiety and improving mood.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness tools to help people accept difficult feelings and focus on values-based action. These approaches can be especially useful for coping with life changes, parenting stress, or ongoing worry. The therapist will work together with each person to find the right mix of techniques based on their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when schedules allow, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support quick check-ins, and text messaging helps keep momentum between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try different formats to see what works best.
