About Alfaye
Alfaye Jackson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 17 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, address anger, and navigate bipolar and depressive symptoms. Alfaye also focuses on related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, domestic violence, and multicultural matters.
She uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. Alfaye listens to daily struggles and points out patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She works with clients to set clear goals and try different coping skills between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered methods and mindfulness. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when those fit a client's goals. Sessions emphasize noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing alternatives, and building useful habits.
Alfaye founded a nonprofit, H.O.P.E. Inc., which offers housing, education, and training for youth in need. That work influences how she thinks about practical supports and community resources. She identifies her faith as important in her life and leadership.
In the first meetings she reviews concerns, outlines a plan, and agrees on measurable steps. She treats clients with respect and holds them accountable to the goals they choose. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session via the site.
How CBT, client-centered work and mindfulness translate to online sessions
Alfaye commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical alternative responses. CBT helps with anxiety, mood problems, and habits that maintain stress by turning ideas into concrete experiments and exercises to try between sessions.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters most to them. Mindfulness therapy is used to develop present-moment noticing and simple breathing or awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Alfaye will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. She reviews what seems helpful and adjusts the plan as sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discuss format preferences during the matching process so practical arrangements support steady work on goals.
