About Alfaye
Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. Alfaye also addresses related concerns such as attachment difficulties, codependency, and multicultural issues.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions are meant to let people talk through emotions and reactions without judgment. Alfaye emphasizes respect for each person's story and treats thoughts and feelings seriously as they come up in conversation.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people change patterns that cause distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused work are common tools she brings into sessions. Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing are also part of how she helps people notice triggers and try different responses.
Alfaye draws on a long history of service work outside therapy as well. She founded and runs a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on housing, education, and training for at-risk youth. That work informs her view of community needs and practical support.
In the room she expects honest work and personal accountability. She says she will be prepared, respect appointment time, and help set goals and treatment plans. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective. It helps when someone needs to be heard as they sort through strong feelings and figure out what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention practices to notice impulses and reduce reactivity.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and mindfulness practices so they work in virtual visits as well as in person.
