Alfaye Jackson , LPC

Alfaye Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 17 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a state-issued credential that denotes formal training and clinical licensure. She creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients are encouraged to share thoughts and feelings and to set realistic goals for change.

Her clinical approach blends evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to match care to each person’s needs. Alfaye offers individual, group, and couples counseling and emphasizes a warm, caring style that still holds clients accountable as they work toward personal growth. She prioritizes respect for the individual and conducts treatment with attention to ethical, clinical, and evidence-based standards.

Outside of clinical work, her faith is central to her life and informs her sense of service. She is the founder and CEO of H.O.P.E. Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit she has led for 14 years that provides housing, education, training, and outreach ministry for homeless and at-risk youth. Her proudest accomplishment is her son, and she views entering counseling as a courageous step toward better mental health. Alfaye invites clients to take the first step, offering steady support as they develop individualized treatment plans and practical strategies for long-term well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alfaye frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on building a trusting relationship and helping clients explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach is useful for people working through attachment issues, grief, or the emotional effects of life stressors because it emphasizes empathy and collaboration.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach she applies. CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, anger, and many mood-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to teach present-moment awareness and coping strategies that support stress reduction and emotional regulation.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Alfaye works with each client to tailor techniques to their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and maintain continuity when life gets hectic. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to offer regular, consistent support and to adapt session format to what works best for each person.
