01About Susan
Susan McMillian brings a direct, practical approach to therapy. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC based in Florida. Her style aims to help people feel heard and find workable steps forward.
Susan focuses on common but heavy challenges like stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to first responder and veteran experiences.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded and straightforward rather than academic. Therapy with Susan uses clear conversation and goal-focused planning. She draws from client-centered and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build skills that fit daily life.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are mixed in when they help someone stay motivated and calm. Appointments may include talking through recent problems, learning tools to manage intense feelings, and practicing short exercises between sessions. Susan aims to make each step practical so clients can try things between meetings and see what works for them.
Susan has five years of clinical experience as a counselor and works with adults in Florida. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is used before scheduling.

Approaches and Online Care for Stress and Trauma
Client-centered therapy starts from where the person is and emphasizes listening, respect, and practical responses to what matters most. It helps people feel understood and decide what change they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and building coping routines. Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize talking, skills practice, or mindfulness exercises so the plan fits the person’s life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from different places. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or ongoing reflections into a busy day. These options help people keep momentum and practice skills between meetings.
