Anna Fortune

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing virtual counseling to women throughout Alabama and Georgia. For the past 16 years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges. Over the past several years, I have intentionally focused my clinical practice on providing Christian counseling for adult women.

By building a practice centered on women's mental health, I am able to offer counseling that reflects both specialized clinical experience and a focused commitment to the population my practice is designed to serve. While these are my primary areas of clinical focus, I work with women from all walks of life and seek to honor each client's individual beliefs, values, experiences, and goals. Faith integration is always guided by your preferences and what you would like to be part of the counseling process.

I strive to create an open and supportive environment where you can be honest about your thoughts, emotions, struggles, and experiences without fear of judgment. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or have been struggling for years, you don't have to walk through it alone.

I take a collaborative and supportive approach to therapy, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a client-centered perspective.

From a client-centered foundation, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space where you are seen, heard, and respected. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, helping you explore your experiences, strengths, and values.

From a CBT lens, I also work with you to identify patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we use practical tools and strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking, build healthier coping skills, and create lasting change.

By blending these approaches, therapy is both supportive and structured, allowing space for your story to unfold while also providing clear, goal-oriented steps toward healing and growth.

In our work together, you can expect to gain both insight and skills that you can carry into daily life. Clients often take away:

• Greater self-understanding – feeling more connected to your thoughts, emotions, values, and patterns.
• Practical coping strategies – tools for managing anxiety, stress, low mood, or overwhelming emotions.
• New ways of thinking – identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns that may be holding you back.
• Improved relationships – building confidence in communication and boundaries.
• A sense of empowerment – recognizing your strengths and feeling more capable of navigating challenges.
• Emotional relief and support – having a safe, nonjudgmental space to process your experiences.

My goal is for you to leave sessions not only with insight, but also with concrete strategies you can practice outside of therapy to create lasting change.
