Alfaye Jackson , LPC

Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. She creates a welcoming space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment, and she approaches each person with respect, preparedness, and evidence-based clinical skill. Alfaye emphasizes goal-setting and individualized treatment planning while holding clients accountable in a warm, caring manner rather than enabling unhelpful patterns.

Outside of her counseling practice, Alfaye’s faith is central to her life and informs her commitment to service. She is the Founder and CEO of H.O.P.E. Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit she has led for 14 years with a mission to provide housing, education, training, and outreach ministry to homeless and at-risk youth. Her work with H.O.P.E. reflects a long-standing dedication to community care and practical support for people in need.

Alfaye offers individual, group, and couples counseling and uses a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Humanistic Therapy, and faith-informed Christian Therapy. She values the trust clients place in her and views it as an honor to support them as they take steps toward improved mental health and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Alfaye integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation of her work - this approach centers the person’s experience, emphasizes empathy, and supports self-directed growth, which can be especially helpful for attachment, relationship, and identity issues. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a way to cultivate present-moment awareness and stress management skills that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alfaye works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans over time so the work feels relevant and achievable. The therapist-client relationship guides which tools are emphasized and how change is pursued.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow for flexibility around work, family, and mobility. These options make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, practice skills between sessions, and access care from home or another convenient location, while still engaging with a licensed professional in meaningful therapeutic work.
