Susan Sturdivant-Miles, LPC

Susan Sturdivant-Miles uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people facing stress and anxiety. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She keeps sessions direct and easy to follow so parents can get clear tools and next steps.

Susan focuses on relationship concerns, family tensions, and parenting challenges. She helps people cope with big life changes and the steady pressure of daily stress. Her work also addresses problems like attachment issues, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and body image concerns.

Sessions are built around listening first, then making a plan together. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment work, and attachment-based approaches to fit each person’s needs. Mindfulness and client-centered methods are woven in to help people notice patterns and try small changes.

Susan aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She helps clients break down worries into manageable steps and practice new skills between sessions. The tone in the room is respectful and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on what actually helps in daily life.

People who come for help often want clearer communication, less reactivity, and better coping tools. Susan supports parents dealing with family strain and caregivers facing burnout. She also works with people who struggle with codependency, control issues, commitment worries, and co-occurring concerns.

Her Georgia licensure and long experience mean she understands local resources and systems. Susan works in English and focuses on practical change that fits each person’s life.

Approach-Focused Online Care for Everyday Challenges

Online work often starts with methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying practical experiments to shift reactions. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and trouble breaking cycles that affect daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most. That approach supports people coping with life changes, parenting stress, and ongoing worries by combining values-based action with acceptance skills.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match needs, and adjust as progress happens. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and which to change if something is not working.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can help with brief check-ins, reminders, and tracking homework between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting real life.
