About Alfred
Dr. Alfred White, Jr. brings more than 26 years of clinical practice to his work with people facing everyday life challenges. He guides clients through practical conversations about what matters most to them.
Sessions focus on identifying personal goals and the steps needed to move toward a more fulfilling life. He frames counseling as a joint effort. He asks direct questions that help people reflect on who they are now and who they want to become.
Background and approach
That process highlights obstacles and possible paths forward in clear, manageable steps. Dr. White uses straightforward methods from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
He also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning and purpose during transitions and tough choices. Common topics include stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting, grief, addictions, career and workplace issues, and questions about identity and life purpose. He also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, money worries, and midlife challenges.
Dr. White earned a Master of Counseling from the University of New Orleans in 1994 and a Doctorate in Counseling in 1999. He holds LPC and LMHC credentials and practices in Louisiana.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, focused on clear steps a person can use between meetings.

Approaches Alfred lists

How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions use that same listening style to help clients name their goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change them; this often includes short practice tasks between sessions that work well with messaging or video check-ins. Existential Therapy helps people ask questions about meaning, purpose, and values during life transitions and can support exploration when facing midlife or career decisions.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life, then shape sessions around what seems most useful. That way techniques are combined or adjusted as needs change rather than sticking to a single method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make quick check-ins or short coaching-style guidance possible between longer sessions. These options help people balance counseling with busy family and work schedules.
