Alfaye Jackson, LPC

Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience based in Missouri. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. Alfaye aims to make sessions a place where thoughts and everyday habits can be discussed without judgment. She values faith and community work as part of her life and practice.

Alfaye creates a welcoming, respectful space and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. She listens to how thoughts, routines, and feelings show up in daily life. Sessions emphasize goal setting, individualized plans, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people find motivation and workable changes. These methods are used to address mood concerns, addictions, anger, and related challenges.

Alfaye founded and leads a nonprofit called H.O.P.E. Inc., which supports housing, education, and outreach for at-risk youth. That community work informs her focus on practical help and empowerment in therapy. Her faith is important to her and often shapes how she connects with clients who choose to include it.

She treats each person with respect, holds them accountable to goals, and works to build a professional relationship where honest conversation is possible. To begin, she asks people to take one step at a time and engage in a collaborative plan for change.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Alfaye commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alfaye collaborates with clients to match methods to goals, needs, and personal preferences. She will adjust the plan as people try tools and report back on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT homework between sessions to practice new habits in everyday settings. Discuss format options during the matching and scheduling steps to find what fits your life.
