Jane Fortune , LPC

Jane Fortune welcomes the opportunity to connect with people who are seeking support and believes that reaching out for help is a positive step in navigating life's challenges. Initially licensed in Virginia as a professional counselor, she is currently licensed in South Carolina as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and also holds an LCMHC credential in North Carolina, reflecting a multi-state background in clinical work.

Her clinical career includes more than a decade in private practice, where she has worked directly with families, couples, and individuals both in-office and online. Prior to private practice she provided in-home and office-based services, bringing a wide range of experience across settings. She has completed three levels of training in the Gottman Model, a research-informed approach to marriage and couples counseling, and integrates skills gained from that training into her relational work.

Fortune combines professional training with life experience - she has been married for more than 40 years, is a mother of two, and a grandmother of eight - perspectives she says inform her approach. She aims to meet clients where they are and support them as they move through the journeys of their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a practical approach that helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that bring more meaning to life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. It helps clients explore attachment needs and repair relationship dynamics, making it useful for couples, families, and individuals working through abandonment or attachment issues.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the therapist's genuine engagement to help clients find their own solutions. This approach supports self-exploration and works well for a wide range of concerns, from self-esteem to grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Licensed professionals will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access therapists from different locations. These options support consistent engagement and allow therapists to tailor the format to what best suits each client.
