Dr. Alfred White, Jr.

Dr. Alfred White, Jr. brings 26 years of counseling and life consultation experience to his work. He helps people tackle everyday issues like stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career questions, and life changes. He focuses on helping clients identify the kind of life that brings them more joy and purpose. He approaches sessions as a team effort. He listens, asks questions, and helps clients clarify their ideal self in different life areas. From there he and the client map obstacles and practical steps toward those goals. Dr. White uses plain language and steady guidance to support change. He offers focused conversations about work, parenting, fatherhood issues, and relationships with friends or partners. He also addresses addictive behaviors, grief, sexuality, and questions about life purpose. He trained at the University of New Orleans, earning a master’s degree in counseling in 1994 and a doctorate in counseling in 1999. He holds the LPC and LMHC credentials and practices in Louisiana. Sessions tend to center on what matters most to the client. He draws on client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral tools, and existential questions to help people make choices that fit their values. That combination aims to turn insight into practical next steps. People who want a thoughtful, question-driven approach often find his style useful. He encourages reflection, acceptance of where someone is now, and steady progress toward a clearer life direction.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and supports the person's own problem-solving and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it helps people try small experiments and new behaviors to reduce anxiety or change habits. Existential Therapy invites questions about meaning, values, and life direction, helping people weigh choices and accept responsibility for shaping their life path.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That conversation guides whether more listening, skill-building, or meaning-focused questions fit best, and the plan can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding camera use when preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and talk therapy to work well across formats, helping people move toward clearer goals and better functioning without promising a particular outcome.
