About Susan
Susan "Jill" Hedges is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 16 years of experience. She draws on a humanistic, client-centered approach and believes people have the capacity to grow, change, and endure. Sessions focus on using each person's strengths to find practical ways forward for everyday struggles.
Jill works with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, and codependency. Her background includes work with medical trauma and post-traumatic stress.
Her therapeutic style blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods. Jill uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and connect actions to values. She may also bring in attachment-focused work to address relationship patterns.
Expressive approaches, including art therapy techniques, are available to add personal meaning and new ways to process feelings. Jill aims to create a steady, accepting space where people can talk through difficult memories and practice different ways of coping.
Conversations are practical and paced to each person. The focus is on small, usable steps toward more manageable days and clearer goals. Sessions are offered in English and Jill is based in Kentucky.
How different approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and accepting each person without judgment. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk and make sense of things at their own pace.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people choose actions that align with their values even when emotions are difficult.
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and communication. This can be useful for people who want to change how they relate to others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between errands. Different approaches can be adapted to an online setting so that therapy focuses on practical skills, values-based choices, and exploring relationship patterns without requiring specific in-person tools.
