About Alfaye
Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and depression. Alfaye aims to create a welcoming space where clients can speak openly and be heard without judgment.
She draws on practical techniques to set clear goals and build step-by-step plans. Sessions focus on real problems and useful strategies, not labels. Alfaye balances warmth with directness - she listens closely while holding clients accountable to the goals they set.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral skills and mindfulness practices. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to support change and small wins. These methods help people reframe thoughts, manage impulses, and develop healthier habits.
Alfaye values faith and community service alongside her counseling work. She founded a nonprofit that supports housing, education, and training for youth in need, and that experience informs her practical, resource-oriented outlook. In sessions she draws on both clinical experience and real-world problem solving.
Clients can expect a respectful, steady clinician who talks plainly about next steps. Alfaye emphasizes planning, follow-through, and realistic problem solving. She encourages people to take the first step and brings steady support while they work toward change.

How Alfaye uses evidence-based approaches online
Alfaye commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer, more useful thoughts. CBT is practical and often involves homework between sessions to practice new skills. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to help people notice their emotions and bodily reactions without immediately acting on them, which can reduce reactivity and support better choices.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Alfaye will talk with clients about their goals and try techniques together to see what fits best. She adapts methods over time so the plan matches each person's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversations, phone can work when connections or bandwidth are limited, and chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels more natural. These options help people maintain continuity of care, manage scheduling around work or family, and use formats that match their comfort and practical needs.
