About Jane

Jane Fortune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 20 years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, depression, addictions, family and grief among the issues she addresses. Jane pairs long professional experience with life experience as a long-term spouse, parent, and grandparent.

She has spent more than a decade in private practice. Earlier work included in-office and online work with individuals, couples, and families. That mix of settings means she is used to helping people who come with everyday pressures as well as complex histories.

Jane draws on several well-known therapy approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for checking patterns of thought and behavior. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas inform how she looks at relationship and connection issues.

In sessions she typically focuses on clear problems and practical next steps. This might mean working on sleep routines, managing anxiety, addressing relationship patterns, or building skills for coping with life changes. She also works with grief, chronic illness concerns, and caregiving stress.

Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in South Carolina. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can work

Jane uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take committed action even when feelings are difficult. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress, and struggles around uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another approach she uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test practical behavior changes that can reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include mixing approaches over time as needs change.

The profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions commonly let people fit therapy into busy schedules, remove travel time, or make it easier to join from different locations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and shorter check-ins can be used between longer sessions if that helps manage a packed week. Jane has prior experience working online, and she will discuss practical arrangements and what will work best for your routine.
