Susan Sturdivant-Miles

Susan Sturdivant-Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family challenges, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. Susan works with people who are unsettled after change and want practical ways forward. She speaks English and practices from a background that emphasizes clear, usable tools.

Her sessions use approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment-Based Therapy. In practice that means she helps clients notice what matters to them, try out new behaviors, and work on patterns that affect relationships and parenting. Mindfulness and client-centered methods are also part of her work when helpful.

Susan often helps people with issues rooted in attachment, including abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and blended family dynamics. She also supports those dealing with body image, codependency, commitment worries, control issues, and caregiver stress. Her experience includes a range of personality and co-morbidity challenges.

Sessions typically focus on clear goals and short-term skill building alongside deeper relationship work. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to how daily routines and habits affect stress and anxiety. She encourages small experiments clients can try between sessions.

People interested in starting are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people identify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to clarify priorities and set small, manageable goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift them. In remote sessions this often looks like reviewing examples from daily life and practicing specific strategies between meetings.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that trace back to early bonds and current connections. Over video or phone, this work involves noticing interaction patterns and rehearsing new ways of relating in everyday settings.

Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit current needs, goals, and preferences. She combines techniques and adjusts the focus as things change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week - for example a shorter phone check-in during a lunch break or a video session that saves commuting time. These practical benefits help keep therapy consistent while people work on stress, relationships, and life direction.
