Hedlun Walton

Hedlun Walton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 26 years of experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship tensions, parenting strains, grief, depression, self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD. He listens first and helps people decide what change they want to make.

His style blends calm listening with clear, practical steps. He uses client-centered conversations when someone needs to be heard. He shifts to cognitive behavioral techniques or solution-focused work when people want tools to change habits or cope differently.

Sessions start with a simple plan. Hedlun and the client set goals together and agree on small, doable steps. He offers perspective without judgment and uses humor when it helps people relax and try new things.

He often helps people see a situation from a different distance so they can notice details or the bigger picture. That can make stuck problems feel more manageable and open up new options for acting differently.

Across his career he has supported people through life changes, blended family concerns, fatherhood challenges, financial stress, first responder issues, and end-of-life matters. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in each session, and works with clients to create practical plans that fit their lives.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy. It gives people space to talk through worries and feel heard, which helps when someone needs to sort out difficult emotions or big decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and build new routines, which can reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and small steps. It is useful when someone wants quick, practical ways to move forward and measure progress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hedlun will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide whether more listening, skill-building, or goal-focused work is the better fit.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Different approaches suit different goals, and the therapist can adapt methods to work well over distance.
