Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help people notice stress and respond differently. Alfaye combines a caring style with firm accountability. She encourages clients to make steady progress and take small steps toward their goals.
Her work also includes attention to issues such as attachment, codependency, hoarding, substance use, anger, domestic violence, mood disorders, and multicultural concerns. Outside clinical work she founded and leads a nonprofit that provides housing, education, and training for homeless and at-risk youth. That community work informs her practical approach to problem solving and resources.
Alfaye describes her faith as important to her life and service, and she brings those values to her sense of purpose as a counselor. She offers individual and group counseling as well as couples sessions, and focuses on making therapy understandable and useful.
Alfaye invites people to take the first step toward change and to move at a pace that feels right for them.
Approaches for online counseling and practical care
Alfaye commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and problem habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help people stay grounded between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Alfaye will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels comfortable, then try methods that match those needs. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper work, phone sessions can be an easier fit when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting it around work, family, or other commitments.
