About Susan
Susan "Jill" Hedges is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and life changes. Jill also works with people facing ADHD, autism, trauma, and codependency concerns. Her approach centers on each person's strengths and goals.
Jill uses a humanistic, client-centered style that keeps the person's needs front and center. She blends practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with approaches that look at attachment and emotional experience. This mix allows for direct skill-building alongside deeper emotional work.
In sessions she aims to create a steady, accepting space where people can talk through hard things and try new ways of coping. She emphasizes clear goals and gradual steps so progress is visible. Her practice supports people who need help with parenting stress, career pressure, caregiving strain, and relationship patterns that feel stuck.
Jill has worked with adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, post-traumatic stress, and caregiver burnout. She also supports people dealing with life purpose, forgiveness, and the effects of narcissistic relationships. Her background includes helping those with hearing impairment and intellectual disability when those needs arise.
People who prefer a respectful, strengths-based therapist often find her style reassuring. She helps clients name what matters, set practical steps, and build skills to manage daily demands and long-running patterns.
Online Approaches That Fit Your Life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, teaching practical skills for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and communicating, which can be useful for codependency and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean using CBT tools for immediate relief, then shifting to attachment work to address deeper patterns. The process is guided by the client's preferences and what feels most useful in short-term and longer-term work.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and more consistent check-ins during busy weeks.
