About Susan
Susan Sturdivant-Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. Susan is also attentive to issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, blended family tensions, and body image concerns.
Susan uses straightforward talk therapy to help people name problems and try new ways of responding. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice thoughts, clarify values, and practice helpful changes. Sessions are practical and aim to build skills that carry into daily life.
She often works with people facing transitions that come in young adulthood - leaving home, school or work changes, early relationship stress, and the pressure to figure out what comes next. The focus is on realistic steps to reduce anxiety and improve communication with others.
In the room she listens and reflects, then suggests experiments or small behavioral shifts to test what helps. Mindfulness tools and ACT ideas are brought in when they match a person's goals. Cognitive techniques are used to change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed worry.
Susan is based in Georgia and provides therapy in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to talk about goals and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most to them, and take committed action toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, feeling stuck after life changes, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical steps to reduce worry and change patterns that get in the way. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions rather than imposing a plan.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with each person and choose techniques based on the client's goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process that may combine elements from different approaches as progress is made.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering a way to work when relocating within the region. Licensed professionals can use these options to support steady progress while people balance school, work, and other commitments.
