Background and approach
Her background includes long-term community work and founding a nonprofit that supports housing, education, and training for young people. That experience shapes a practical focus on resources and stability. She brings real-world problem solving into conversations about emotions and behavior.
Alfaye describes her style as caring but accountable. She listens closely, offers direct feedback, and helps people practice new skills between sessions. The aim is progress that fits each person’s daily life.

Alfaye works with people to build treatment plans that match their goals and circumstances. Getting started involves a short intake and clear steps for moving forward.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers. In practice this means the therapist reflects feelings, asks open questions, and supports a person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear strategies like thought records and behavioral experiments; it often helps with anxiety, mood issues, and managing strong emotions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus; these practices can help with stress and urges related to addiction.Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that suit the person, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and how to practice them between sessions.
Online formats offer flexibility for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share updates, ask quick questions, and get support between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week and to continue progress from different locations.
