Susan Sturdivant-MilesLPC

Susan Sturdivant-Miles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. Her approach aims to make people feel heard and supported from the first session.

She uses clear, practical methods to help clients manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, doable steps clients can try between meetings. The work often includes learning new ways to respond to worry, improving communication, and strengthening attachments in important relationships.

Susan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful patterns and build skills for daily life. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current behavior, and client-centered listening to keep conversations grounded in each person’s priorities.

Her style is down-to-earth and nonjudgmental. She invites clients to talk through fears and hard choices and to set realistic goals for change. Sessions aim to help people feel more capable of handling parenting pressures and the demands of family life.

People considering therapy are encouraged to reflect on what they want to change and bring those concerns to an initial meeting. The focus is on practical tools, honest conversation, and steady support as people work toward more manageable days and clearer relationships.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It emphasizes values-based action, which can help with anxiety, stress, and making choices during pregnancy and childbirth transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing more balanced thoughts, a practical fit for managing worry and adjusting behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, useful for strengthening parenting and family bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the client's life and needs.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue regular sessions while managing appointments, childcare, or recovery related to pregnancy and childbirth. The emphasis is on practical access and making therapy usable within everyday routines rather than promising a specific format.
