About Susan
Susan "Jill" Hedges is a Kentucky-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 16 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and parenting concerns. Her way of working is warm and calm, aimed at helping people find steady footing when life feels hard.
Jill uses straightforward talk therapy alongside creative, expressive options when it helps. She leans on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-focused and emotionally-focused ways of working to improve relationships and emotional understanding. Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She helps people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to solve current problems.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, while still allowing time for feelings and meaning to come up. Parents who are juggling behavior questions, blended family strain, adoption or foster care challenges, or caregiver stress will find a focus that fits their concerns. Jill also supports people facing trauma, bereavement, life transitions, and questions about identity or life purpose.
Sessions can include talk, skills practice, and expressive activities when useful. She works with people who are hearing impaired or who have intellectual disability, and she accepts international clients in English. The aim is steady progress through clear steps and compassionate listening.

Approaches that guide remote work and parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to focus on valued actions that move life forward. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction after a loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and practicing new responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating and regulating emotions, which can be valuable for parenting concerns and relationship strain.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most workable for the client. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps the client make steady progress.
Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use body language and deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to continue care across locations.
