Jane Fortune , LPC

Jane Fortune is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy issues. Her tone in sessions is warm and straightforward. She aims to make therapy feel understandable and useful from the first meeting.

Before working in private practice, she spent years meeting people where they were, both in offices and online. That experience shaped how she balances practical tools with attentive listening. She draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Sessions often center on clearer communication, shifting unhelpful patterns, and building daily habits that support sleep, mood, and self‑esteem. For relationship strain she uses methods that help people notice and change interaction cycles. For trauma and grief she focuses on safety, pacing, and steady coping skills.

She also works with concerns like addiction, caregiver stress, chronic illness, eating and body-related issues, and life transitions. Jane pays attention to attachment patterns and how early losses or abandonment show up in adult relationships. Her aim is practical progress, not labels.

People who do best with her are those who want both compassion and realistic steps forward. She explains options in plain language and helps people pick approaches that fit their goals. If you want a clear plan and a calm presence while you work through change, she may be a good match.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them, which often helps with mood, sleep, and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment in relationships, helping people improve closeness and resolve conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will suggest approaches and adjust them based on your needs and preferences so you feel involved in the plan.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls are useful for deeper two-way conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let you check in between sessions and process thoughts in real time. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care when in-person visits aren’t convenient.
