About Alfaye

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of experience, Alfaye Jackson helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. She supports concerns that include mood disorders, substance problems, trauma-related issues, and multicultural challenges. Alfaye speaks English and practices from a faith-informed perspective, and she has led a nonprofit focused on housing and training for youth for over a decade.

Alfaye uses straightforward talk therapy that focuses on what is happening now and on practical steps forward. She combines Client-Centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused work to set goals and identify concrete behavior changes. Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing are used when people want tools for coping and for building motivation to change.

Sessions focus on clear goals, accountability, and skill practice between meetings. Alfaye describes herself as respectful and present, and she emphasizes punctuality and preparation in her work. She expects honest collaboration about progress and setbacks so plans can be adjusted as needed.

Her background includes founding and running H.O.P.E. Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving homeless and at-risk youth. That community work informs her interest in veteran and armed forces issues, family problems, and multicultural concerns. Alfaye draws on 17 years of clinical experience to help people set realistic goals and take practical steps toward them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they apply to online work

Alfaye commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, with mindfulness practices mixed in. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and changes behaviors through small experiments and skill practice. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening, reflection, and building a working relationship so a person can clarify goals and make choices. Mindfulness therapy adds simple breathing and awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and manage stress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Alfaye collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts plans based on how people respond and focuses on practical exercises that can be used between sessions.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can support consistent work on goals, while the therapist and client decide together which tools and formats suit the situation.
