About Jane
Jane Fortune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. She invites people to reach out when life feels overwhelming and offers steady, practical support. Her background includes long-term private practice work and earlier roles helping individuals and families in office and online settings.
She uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Conversations typically look at what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and what small steps can change daily life. She also helps people facing grief, caregiving burden, chronic illness, and major life transitions.
Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused methods. Sessions tend to be collaborative - the person sets goals and the therapist offers tools and feedback. Jane pairs her professional experience with perspectives shaped by decades of family life.
She has particular interest in issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, eating and intimacy-related issues, and communication challenges. She also supports people managing bipolar disorder symptoms, addictions, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
If someone is unsure where to begin, she asks a few practical questions to match therapy to everyday needs and priorities. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what feels manageable. Together they pick methods and try them out, adjusting as work progresses to fit the person's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that work around work or caregiving schedules. Some approaches lend themselves to focused skills practice or brief check-ins, while others use longer conversations about relationships and history; the therapist will recommend what might fit based on each person's situation.
