About Alfaye
Alfaye Jackson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 17 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder and depression. Alfaye also focuses on concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, veteran and armed forces issues, and multicultural matters.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses practical methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people identify unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are part of how she helps clients set small, achievable goals.
Alfaye places importance on respect and clear boundaries in sessions. She asks for openness and honesty, and she expects clients to take active steps toward the goals they set together. Accountability and realistic planning are regular parts of her work with people dealing with mood difficulties, substance concerns, or chronic stress.
Outside clinical work she founded a 501(c)(3) nonprofit called H.O.P.E. Inc., which offers housing, education, and training for homeless and at-risk youth and includes outreach ministry. Her faith is a meaningful part of her life and informs her values, while clinical methods remain a focus in sessions.
People who choose Alfaye can expect practical skill-building, clear treatment plans, and dialog about what works for them. She encourages clients to take the first step and to use sessions to practice new ways of coping and relating to daily pressures.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can clarify what they want to change. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental forum to sort through decisions and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors and feelings and teaches hands-on skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without immediately reacting, which can reduce reactivity and help with stress and cravings.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Alfaye will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those aims. That planning is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or make it easier to use video or audio only if that suits them. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable alongside study, work and family obligations.
