About Jane

Jane Fortune is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of clinical experience. She offers a steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Jane practices from South Carolina and uses practical, down-to-earth language in sessions so parents can understand next steps quickly.

She spent many years working directly with families, couples, and individuals in both office and online settings before focusing on independent practice.

Background and approach

That front-line experience shaped how she approaches common family concerns like communication problems, blended family issues, and caregiving stress. Her background also includes work around trauma, addiction, eating and intimacy-related issues. Therapy with Jane is conversational and goal-oriented.

She blends several approaches to match a person’s needs, pulling from cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment perspectives, and emotion-focused work. Sessions typically focus on skills people can use at home and clearer ways to talk with loved ones. Jane holds the LPC credential, SC LPC 4937.

She frames progress as a collaborative effort and draws on everyday parenting and family experience as well as clinical training. Her style is warm, practical, and steady for people wanting clear steps forward. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Signing up includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to fit individual needs.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. It gives clear tools and homework people can use between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on improving emotional connection and communication in relationships and can help couples and family members understand each other's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will listen to your concerns and goals and help decide which methods to use together. She treats the choice as a collaboration and adjusts methods as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy family life. These options let people meet from home, share short updates between sessions, and practice new skills in real time. The variety of formats supports flexibility and continued progress when in-person visits are difficult.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
