Dr. Alfred White, Jr.

Dr. Alfred White, Jr. brings 26 years of counseling experience to people facing everyday life challenges. He trained at the University of New Orleans, earning a Masters in Counseling in 1994 and a Doctorate in Counseling in 1999. He holds LPC and LMHC credentials and practices in Louisiana. He encourages clients to identify the life they want and to take practical steps toward it.

He describes his role as a collaborative life consultant. Sessions focus on clarifying an individual's ideal self across life areas, spotting obstacles, and mapping steps forward. The work is conversational and reflective, with questions designed to increase self-awareness and direction.

Common topics include stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, career questions, and parenting. He also addresses issues related to family of origin, fatherhood, guilt and shame, life purpose, men's issues, and midlife transitions. Clients who want practical, goal-minded conversations often find this approach useful.

His style blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and existential thinking. That means time is spent both on understanding experience and on trying different ways of thinking or acting between sessions. The aim is to help people make choices that align with their goals and values.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients may be accepted. People who prefer a conversational, goal-focused process can expect clear questions, feedback, and encouragement as part of their work together.

How his approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's own goals steer the work. It helps people who need someone to reflect their experience and clarify priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors between sessions; this can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping skills.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about your goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and depends on what you want to change or understand.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on a workday, or reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when life changes occur. Licensed professionals and therapists often use online sessions to keep momentum between in-person visits or when schedules are tight.
