Alfaye Jackson, LPC

Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 17 years of clinical experience supporting individuals facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. She draws on a blend of evidence-informed therapies to help clients develop practical coping skills, set achievable goals, and build greater emotional resilience. Alfaye creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult memories, thoughts, and feelings while working toward meaningful change.

Outside of clinical work, Alfaye is the founder and CEO of H.O.P.E. Inc, a 501c3 nonprofit she has led for the past 14 years to provide housing, education, training, and outreach for homeless and at-risk youth. That mission reflects her commitment to service and community-based support for vulnerable populations, including veterans and families. Her faith is an important part of her life and informs her sense of purpose and compassion in practice.

Alfaye values a collaborative approach that honors each person’s story while holding clients accountable to their goals. She offers individual, group, and couples counseling and applies therapeutic methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, client-centered work, and solution-focused techniques. Alfaye approaches every client with respect, preparedness, and a focus on practical, evidence-informed care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alfaye Jackson integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and collaboration so the client’s goals and values guide the process; this approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to explore personal concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can aid stress management and coping with strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Alfaye treats this as a collaborative effort. She works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and tailors methods so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model on everyone.

Online therapy with Alfaye offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments, and help maintain continuity of support when attending in-person sessions is difficult.
