About Alfaye
Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. Alfaye combines direct talk with practical techniques so people can manage strong feelings and make clearer decisions about next steps.
She practices in a straightforward, person-centered way. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. Alfaye uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thought patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. She also brings mindfulness strategies to help people notice bodily cues and step back from impulsive reactions.
Motivational interviewing is part of her approach for people coping with substance use or ambivalence about change. Solution-focused tools help set short-term goals and track small, achievable progress. These methods are used alongside a client-centered stance that values the person’s perspective and faith when it matters to them.
Alfaye’s background includes founding and running a nonprofit focused on housing and training for at-risk youth. That work informs her practical emphasis and skills in advocacy, systems navigation, and program development. She names her faith as an important personal resource and may incorporate faith-related topics when clients raise them.
In sessions she aims to be direct, respectful, and accountable. She offers individual, group, and couples counseling and works with clients to set goals and develop stepwise plans. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s experience. In practice this looks like space to name what triggers anger, and the counselor reflects those concerns back to help the person organize thoughts and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT sessions break down moments of anger into triggers, thoughts, and choices, then practice small behavior changes to reduce impulsive reactions.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and body-awareness skills. Learning to notice early physical signs of anger can create a pause that makes different responses possible.
Deciding which approaches to use is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and pick techniques together. That collaborative process helps shape sessions and the skills practiced between meetings.
If you want online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions help fit counseling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, and remove time lost to travel. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and whether brief skills sessions or regular weekly meetings will work better for your needs.
