    About Alfaye

    Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of experience. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. Her work emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly and start making changes.

    She values a warm, caring approach that still holds people accountable. Sessions focus on setting realistic goals, building skills, and creating individualized plans that fit each person's life. Alfaye often uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ready to change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior.

    Her background includes founding a nonprofit focused on housing, education, and outreach for youth, which informs her commitment to practical help and community support. She describes her faith as personally important and says it guides her sense of service. Her professional identity centers on listening, respect, and steady guidance.

    Alfaye works with individuals and offers counseling intended to help people process feelings, recognize patterns, and practice new ways of coping. Her style blends solution-focused steps with mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Clients collaborate on goals and track progress between sessions.

    People who choose her can expect clear communication about goals, straightforward strategies, and encouragement to take small steps forward. To begin, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

  2. Therapeutic approaches and online options

    Alfaye commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build confidence for taking steps forward. That approach is useful for addictions and any situation where someone feels stuck or unsure about change. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

    Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust techniques together as needed.

    Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a workday break. It can also reduce the need to be on camera if someone prefers a phone call or audio-first option, but those specifics should be confirmed when scheduling.
