About Susan
Susan "Jill" Hedges is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes. She also addresses adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, and post-traumatic stress.
Jill uses practical, evidence-informed methods rather than clinical jargon. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She pairs that with client-centered conversation and expressive approaches when helpful. Sessions focus on identifying small, doable steps that fit day-to-day life.
Her approach emphasizes the person’s strengths. She helps people build on what already works and test new ways of responding to stress and difficult feelings. That can include short behavioral experiments, tracking patterns between thoughts and moods, or using creative exercises to explore meaning.
Jill aims to make therapy direct and practical. She explains options, offers clear tools, and practices new skills together in session. Progress is tracked by what a person can do differently between appointments.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In online sessions this can mean setting clear homework, using brief behavioral experiments between meetings, and tracking what changes. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people notice what matters and take small steps toward it even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and communication, and it can help people practice new ways of relating and responding.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and practical needs, then suggest whether CBT, ACT, or attachment-focused work fits best. Plans can change as progress is observed and new priorities emerge.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time so people can use therapy during a lunch break or between responsibilities. Therapists help arrange sessions to match what will be most useful and practical for daily life.
