About Susan

Susan "Jill" Hedges is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky. She brings 16 years of experience supporting people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and life changes.

Jill uses a straightforward, respectful style and aims to make sessions feel calm and purposeful for worried parents and adults.

Background and approach

Her approach is rooted in humanistic, client-centered care. She combines evidence-based techniques with expressive methods when helpful. That means sessions often include talking, practical skill-building, and creative ways to reflect on feelings and experiences.

She focuses on each person’s strengths when finding steps forward. Jill is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful actions.

Attachment-based ideas guide work related to relationships and caregiving patterns. In sessions she aims to create a steady, accepting space where people can speak without judgment. She prioritizes clear communication and practical tools for coping.

Parents who are navigating stress, family adjustments, or caregiving challenges will find a calm, steady presence. Jill offers services online through video, phone, chat, and messaging. She works in English and accepts international clients.

Her Kentucky license is KY LPCC 103474.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Picking the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit each person. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they meet practical needs and personal comfort.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue work during transitions. Many people find the variety helpful because some weeks they want a live conversation and other weeks a quick message or phone check-in works better. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and expressive activities to these formats so the work can continue across different situations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
