About Jane Fortune

Jane Fortune brings twenty years of counseling experience to her work with individuals, couples, and families. 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 - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - credential in North Carolina. Her clinical background combines years in community and office settings with more than 13 years in private practice, and she has provided care both in person and online.

Fortune has completed three levels of training in the Gottman Model, a research-based approach to marriage and couples counseling, and she applies that training alongside a broad set of clinical skills developed across many practice settings. Her professional perspective is informed by extensive real-life experience as a spouse of over 40 years, a mother of two, and a grandmother of eight, which she integrates with clinical training to support clients navigating relationship and life transitions.

Known for a thoughtful, client-centered approach, she draws on years of working directly with families, couples, and individuals to help people move through challenging seasons and toward clearer ways of relating and coping.

Licensed professionals offer the option to change therapists if a different fit is desired, which helps people find the support style and approach that best meets their needs. For those weighing whether remote therapy is right for them, considering accessibility, personal comfort with technology, and the type of support needed can help guide the decision.
