About Jane
Jane Fortune is a licensed professional counselor with twenty years in the field. She greets those who reach out with a straightforward belief: asking for help is a healthy way to get through hard times. Jane brings both long clinical experience and real-life perspective as a spouse and parent to sessions.
Jane has worked in private practice for the past 13 years. Before that she spent time working directly with individuals, couples, and families in office and online settings. Her background includes extended training in couple work through the Gottman Model and a range of clinical work across mood, relationship, and life-change concerns.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and honest conversation. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot patterns and ACT ideas to clarify values and goals. Attachment and emotionally focused ideas guide work on connection and relationship patterns.
People often come to Jane for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship trouble, midlife changes, addiction concerns, and parenting strain. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, eating-related issues, and adjustment after separation or loss.
Her style is direct, respectful, and collaborative. She aims to help people set small, doable steps and practice new habits between meetings. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How Jane’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and building small habits that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions by shifting attention toward actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, insomnia, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can guide work on intimacy and communication challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jane aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She uses elements from different approaches as needed rather than sticking to a single method, and she checks in about what’s working as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, makes scheduling easier, and allows shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep consistent appointments while balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
