About Alfred

Dr. Alfred White, Jr. brings 26 years of clinical experience to his work helping people navigate common and complex life challenges.

Background and approach

He approaches counseling as a collaborative consultation, asking targeted questions to clarify values, identify obstacles, and map practical steps toward a more fulfilling day-to-day life. His background includes a master’s degree in counseling and a doctorate in counseling, and he holds licensure as an LPC and LMHC in Louisiana which informs his clinical practice.

Clients can expect a style that blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered and existential perspectives to explore thoughts, feelings, and personal meaning. Dr.

White emphasizes self-reflection and awareness to help clients locate their sense of purpose, strengthen self-esteem, and address concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, trauma, grief, career difficulties, and questions about sexuality or identity. He also addresses family of origin and fatherhood issues, financial and workplace stressors, and midlife or life-purpose questions.

Working with him is framed as a team effort that balances support, challenge, and practical feedback. The goal is to help each person clarify their ideal self across life roles, accept where they are now, and develop realistic strategies to move toward sustained change and greater fulfillment.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Personal Growth

Dr. White integrates practical frameworks into remote care to help clients address thoughts, behaviors, and meaning in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist supports the client's own process of discovery and self-directed growth. Existential Therapy invites exploration of values, life purpose, and personal responsibility when people face transitions or questions about meaning.

Finding the right approach is considered part of the work itself, and Dr. White treats therapeutic style selection as a collaborative process. He partners with clients to match methods to their goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time as needs change and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it possible to fit consistent support into busy schedules, continue work from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client. Licensed professionals can use these options to combine structure and conversation tailored to each person's life and goals.
