Alfaye Jackson

Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. Alfaye aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and understood.

She focuses on practical goals and clear steps in therapy. Sessions emphasize respect, accountability, and building a helpful plan that fits each person's life. Alfaye uses a caring and warm style while avoiding enabling behaviors, and she encourages clients to take small forward steps.

Her background includes founding and leading a nonprofit, H.O.P.E. Inc., which provides housing, education, training, and outreach to youth in need. That community work informs her interest in multicultural concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and helping people facing complex life challenges.

Alfaye uses evidence-informed approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. She combines these methods with individualized treatment planning to address problems like co-occurring conditions, codependency, domestic violence impacts, and substance concerns.

Clients can expect goal-driven sessions that pair practical techniques with compassionate listening. Alfaye invites people to take the first step, and she structures work around clear objectives, ongoing progress checks, and straightforward options for moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Alfaye commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to change behaviors and mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness, which can help with anger and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking what feels useful and adjusting plans as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach coping skills, practice new responses to anger, and keep momentum between visits without promising specific outcomes.
