About Susan

Susan "Jill" Hedges is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 16 years of clinical experience. She draws on a humanistic, client-centered foundation while integrating evidence-based methods to address issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, ADHD, autism, and medical trauma.

Background and approach

Her training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is combined with expressive approaches to help clients explore personal meaning and develop practical coping strategies. Jill emphasizes the strengths each person brings and collaborates with clients to find workable solutions and forward movement.

She aims to create an accepting therapeutic environment where clients can explore emotions and build communication skills. With experience across a range of concerns from caregiving stress and attachment issues to life purpose and career transitions, she blends structured interventions and creative expression to support lasting change.

Integrating Approaches for Online Care and Flexibility

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and commit to actions that align with those values while developing greater psychological flexibility; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related strategies, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships and individual experience to deepen emotional awareness and improving interpersonal connection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then combine methods that fit the client's needs and pace rather than relying on a single technique.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals, access support from varied locations, and use modalities that suit how a client prefers to engage in therapy.
