Jane Fortune , LPC

Jane Fortune welcomes the opportunity to get to know someone seeking support and believes reaching out is a constructive step in navigating life's challenges. She began her counseling career with an initial professional counselor license in Virginia and is presently licensed in South Carolina as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and in North Carolina as an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Her clinical work spans private practice for the past 13 years and earlier roles working directly with families, couples, and individuals both in office settings and online.

She has completed three levels of training in the Gottman Model, a research-informed approach for couples and marriage counseling, and brings both professional and personal experience to her work. As the spouse of more than 40 years, a mother of two, and a grandmother of eight, she draws on life experience alongside clinical training to offer practical, grounded guidance. Jane works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting and family dynamics, addictions, sleep difficulties, and life transitions.

Her approach blends evidence-based methods with a respectful, client-centered stance aimed at helping people move forward through the journeys of their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jane Fortune integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy along with a client-centered stance to support people in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify personal values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that stem from early bonds and aims to improve connection and emotional regulation, which can be valuable for relationship struggles, intimacy issues, and grief. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, giving people space to lead the pace and focus of their work while the therapist supports their growth.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Jane collaborates with each person to identify which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as the work unfolds. Online sessions using video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility to fit therapy into varied schedules and life circumstances, making access to a licensed professional easier for those balancing work, family, or mobility constraints.
