How Hedlun works
Sessions often include clear goals, simple tools to try between meetings, and occasional humor when it fits the moment. He has worked on a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and ADHD. He also helps with relationship challenges, parenting strains, and life transitions like grief or career shifts.

Approaches that work online and in life
Hedlun draws on client-centered therapy to give people a respectful, listening space where they can be heard and make sense of their experience. This approach helps when someone needs to process feelings or gain emotional clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful patterns of thinking and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, or anger. Solution-focused therapy focuses on concrete goals and small steps that move a person toward the change they want.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Hedlun collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He will check in and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits timely check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
