About Jane
Jane Fortune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and related issues. Jane blends clinical practice with many years of personal experience as a long-term partner, parent, and grandparent.
She spent over a decade in private practice and prior to that worked directly with people and families in office and online settings. Her background includes advanced training in relationship work, including multiple levels of the Gottman Model for couples. Jane draws on that experience when people bring worries about intimacy, communication, or blended family dynamics.
Her approach uses several evidence-informed methods. She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns and make practical changes. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) inform how she looks at connection and hurt in close relationships.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Jane helps people sort immediate problems like sleep disturbance, anger, or addictive patterns and also address longer-term patterns such as attachment struggles or responses to chronic illness and caregiving stress. She supports parents working through parenting strain and adults coping with difficult family relationships.
People who prefer calm, direct conversations about what to try next may find this style useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to set goals and plans.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when stress, avoidance, or mood gets in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to change patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early and current relationship patterns shape responses to intimacy and caregiving stress, and it can be useful for people struggling with trust or repeated conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT skills with CBT techniques or using attachment ideas to guide conversations about family roles.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for a quicker check-in on a lunch break. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help when a quieter setup is easier to arrange. Licensed professionals generally aim to match session rhythm and length to what works in everyday life, while checking in about goals and adjustments over time.
