About Alfred

Dr. Alfred White, Jr. is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Louisiana with 26 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, parenting questions, career strain, and related life concerns. He also works on self-esteem, coping with life changes, and sexuality and LGBT issues.

He describes his work as consultative and collaborative. He starts by asking focused questions to help clients name their ideal self and the lifestyle they want. Then he and the client identify obstacles and realistic steps to move toward those goals. Sessions are presented as team efforts where reflection and feedback are part of the process.

Dr. White blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and existential ideas. That means he listens for what matters most, looks at patterns of thought and behavior, and helps clients consider values and meaning. Conversations often include practical steps alongside deeper questions about purpose and identity.

His background includes a Master of Counseling from the University of New Orleans (1994) and a Doctorate in Counseling (1999). He holds the LPC and LMHC credentials in Louisiana. Over decades he has focused on everyday life issues that affect work, family, and relationships.

People who come to him often want straightforward discussion and clear next steps. He welcomes topics such as fatherhood concerns, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, midlife questions, money and workplace problems. Sessions emphasize clarity, problem solving, and personal reflection rather than quick fixes.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions can replicate that approach through steady, goal-focused conversation and regular check-ins that keep attention on the client's priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thought and behavior and translates them into practical exercises. In remote sessions this often means reviewing thought records, assigning brief at-home practices, and tracking changes between meetings.

Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning, and life choices. Online sessions using this perspective invite questions about purpose, responsibility, and long-term goals while allowing time for reflection between meetings.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then recommend which approaches to emphasize. This is a collaborative decision made with the client's input.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using written exercises or screen-shared worksheets during the session to reinforce tools learned in conversation.
