About Susan
Susan "Jill" Hedges is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 16 years of clinical experience. She draws on a humanistic, client-centered style and focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming.
Jill helps people who face anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, and ADHD. She also supports those navigating parenting pressures, career changes, and major life transitions. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is part of the concerns she lists among her focus areas.
Her work combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques with other approaches to meet each person's needs. She emphasizes using a person's existing strengths to find workable solutions. Sessions aim to build better communication, clearer goals, and steady progress toward manageable change.
Jill values a calm, accepting atmosphere where people can speak honestly and try new ways of coping. Expressive methods may be added when they help someone find deeper meaning in their experience. The therapist keeps sessions focused and practical, with attention to what a person wants to accomplish.
People who prefer a collaborative, respectful approach often feel comfortable with Jill's style. She encourages steady steps rather than quick fixes, helping people rebuild confidence and move forward at a pace that fits their life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control choices, then to commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and rebuilding a sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making day-to-day problems more manageable. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can be useful for people dealing with attachment issues or relational wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative, and techniques can be adjusted as needs change.
