Alfaye JacksonLPC

Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. Alfaye aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about feelings and make practical changes.

Her approach is warm and caring, with an emphasis on honesty and accountability. Sessions focus on setting clear goals and developing individual plans that fit each person's life. Alfaye uses straightforward techniques to help clients notice patterns, try new skills, and track progress.

Outside of clinical work she founded H.O.P.E. Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides housing, education, and training for homeless and at-risk youth. That community work informs her practical focus and commitment to serving people from diverse backgrounds.

Alfaye describes her faith as an important part of her life and brings that personal perspective to her work when it aligns with a client's values. She emphasizes respect, timely sessions, and professional conduct while helping clients take the first steps toward change.

In sessions she offers individual work, group counseling, and couples counseling as part of her practice. Her common therapeutic methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. The therapist provides empathy and acceptance while people name their concerns and goals. This fits well when someone needs a compassionate space to make decisions and clarify values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing alternative skills. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing cravings by using step-by-step exercises and homework between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice sensations, thoughts, and emotions without judgment. These tools can help reduce reactivity to stress and support emotion regulation during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily routines. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit sessions into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or reduce the need to be on camera for every appointment. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and client-centered conversations to an online setting.
