Jane Fortune , LPC

Jane Fortune welcomes the opportunity to get to know new clients and views reaching out for help as a constructive way to navigate life. She began her professional licensure in Virginia as a professional counselor and is currently licensed in South Carolina as an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - and is also licensed in North Carolina as an LCMHC - a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Her clinical work spans more than two decades and includes thirteen years in private practice following years of work 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 to marriage and couples counseling, and draws on that training when working with partners and families. Jane combines formal training and clinical experience with life experience gained as a wife of more than forty years, a mother of two, and a grandmother of eight. Those personal perspectives inform a practical, empathetic approach as she supports people through relationship concerns, loss, transitions, and the everyday challenges of living.

Jane invites people to connect so she can accompany them through their journey and help them move toward greater balance and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jane Fortune integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values and take committed action - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed early in life and how they affect current partnerships and family dynamics - it can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on recognizing and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships to strengthen bonds and improve communication, making it valuable for couples and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jane works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on her training and experience to adjust strategies over time so therapy fits the individual or couple.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care around busy schedules, manage ongoing stressors, and access support from a licensed professional without travel, supporting continuity and convenience in the therapeutic process.
