About Alfaye

Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar symptoms, and depression. She aims to make the therapy space calm and nonjudgmental so people can speak honestly about their worries and struggles.

Alfaye draws on a mix of practical approaches in her work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviors interact. She incorporates mindfulness practices to help people notice and manage strong feelings. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and steps forward.

Her counseling style is warm and direct. She holds clients accountable while offering steady support. Sessions focus on setting individualized goals, building coping skills, and addressing patterns that keep problems going.

Outside of counseling, Alfaye founded and runs a nonprofit focused on housing, education, and training for youth in need. That work has shaped her commitment to community and to practical, action-oriented help. She also speaks openly about the role of her personal faith in her life.

Alfaye works from Missouri and provides counseling grounded in respectful listening and clear planning. She encourages people to take the first step toward change and to work at a pace that fits their life.

How Alfaye’s Approaches Work Online

Alfaye uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in many sessions to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. This approach can be useful for addressing anxiety, panic-related worry, and patterns that feed distress. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce emotional overwhelm and increase present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alfaye talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on thought-behavior shifts, mindfulness practices, or short-term solution work, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how she currently meets with clients. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time, allowing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, or removing the need to be in a different building. Licensed professionals can use these methods to keep work practical and focused while you build skills that help in everyday situations.
