About Susan
Susan McMillian brings a clear clinical path to her work. She holds a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes.
Susan uses practical talk and straightforward techniques in sessions. She mixes client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
How Susan works
Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage intense feelings in the moment. Her background includes five years of counseling experience. That experience informs how she works with issues like grief, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and career stress.
She also has additional focus on first responder issues, veteran and armed forces matters, and post-traumatic stress. Susan aims to make sessions feel collaborative and goal-oriented. She often uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
Sessions are practical and paced to what each person needs. People meet Susan through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. She practices in Florida and offers services in English.

Online support options
Approaches that fit online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own direction. This approach can be useful for stress, low self-esteem, and when someone needs a calmer space to talk.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood swings, and coping after trauma.
Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. That can help when intense emotions or flashbacks feel overwhelming by offering tools to steady attention in the moment.
Susan treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will work with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjust techniques over time, and set concrete short-term goals. The plan can shift as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when a lower-bandwidth option is needed or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send notes between sessions or check in without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life.
