Susan Sturdivant-Miles , LPC

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

Susan creates a calm space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. She listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Together they set realistic goals and find small, useful ways to change day-to-day routines.

Her work draws on therapies that teach new ways to think and act. She uses techniques that help people notice thoughts and feelings, and choose actions that match their values. Sessions often include simple exercises and reflections to practice between meetings.

Susan also pays attention to attachment and how past relationships shape current patterns. That helps when worries come from fear of abandonment, trust issues, or blended family dynamics. She supports parents who feel overwhelmed and caregivers facing stress.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on what matters and building committed steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, worry, and coping skills practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current connections and trust. This approach can help when trouble relates to abandonment, attachment problems, or repeated relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process and strategies can be adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers options to fit a busy life: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, try short focused sessions, and fit therapy into work and family schedules.
