Jane Fortune

Jane Fortune is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. She is based in South Carolina and offers a calm, practical approach for people facing big life changes. Jane speaks plain language and aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried parents and adults alike.

She began her counseling career working directly with families, couples, and individuals in office and online settings. For the last 13 years she has worked in private practice, building experience with relationship stress, anxiety, grief, and addiction among other concerns. Jane draws on long personal experience as a spouse, parent, and grandparent to inform her work in realistic ways.

In sessions she focuses on what matters day to day. She listens, helps clients clarify values and goals, and practices strategies to reduce overwhelm. Jane uses tools from approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to tackle symptoms and build new habits.

She also attends to attachment and emotion-focused work when relationship patterns or intimacy issues are central. That includes conversations about communication, boundaries, and repairing trust. Practical problem solving is paired with attention to feelings.

Jane works with a wide range of concerns including coping with life changes, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, depression, sleeping problems, and career strain. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make steady progress and feel more able to face their daily demands.

Approaches used and how online work can fit

Jane uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression. CBT is action-oriented and often focuses on skills you can use between sessions.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships, and on acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and encourage workable action even when feelings are difficult. These approaches can help with intimacy issues, grief, and navigating life changes.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jane will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, pace, and comfort. That might mean trying different strategies over several sessions to see what feels most helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so appointments are more practical. Licensed professionals can adjust sessions to match what a person needs week to week.
