About Jane

Jane Fortune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with two decades of experience. She brings long experience from independent practice and earlier clinical roles to her work.

Background and approach

Jane writes simply and directly; she sees therapy as a practical step people take when life becomes harder than expected. In sessions she talks with people about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and sleep problems.

She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, addiction-related issues, and coping with big life changes. She uses familiar language and clear steps so conversations do not feel overwhelming.

Jane draws on approaches that include the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral tools. She aims to match what she does to each person's situation rather than following one way for everyone.

Expect calm listening, practical exercises, and chances to try new patterns between sessions. Her background includes many years in independent practice and earlier work supporting individuals and people in their homes and offices.

Personal experience as a long-term partner, parent, and grandparent also shapes how she thinks about relationships and family stress. Jane focuses on clear next steps and steady progress.

Sessions are offered through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine.

How Jane blends approaches for online work

Jane uses the Gottman Method to focus on communication patterns and emotional connection in relationships, helping people learn clear skills for managing conflict and rebuilding closeness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice their thoughts and values, then take small committed steps toward a life they care about. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and helps people develop more supported ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jane listens to what matters most, talks about options, and adapts techniques to fit each person's goals and rhythm. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and will shift focus when needed so therapy feels relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and staying connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, and busy schedules.
