About Alfred
Dr. Alfred White, Jr. brings more than 26 years of counseling experience to his work in Louisiana. He earned a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Doctorate in Counseling, and he practices as an LPC, LMHC.
He helps people sort through everyday problems and the big life questions that come with them. He focuses on practical conversations that uncover what a client truly wants from life. Sessions are collaborative.
Background and approach
He asks questions that prompt reflection, helps identify obstacles, and maps possible steps forward. Many clients come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or addictions. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, career challenges, or questions about identity and sexuality.
Fatherhood concerns, family of origin topics, and midlife questions are additional areas he addresses. Dr. White uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and existential perspectives.
That mix lets him focus both on immediate coping skills and on deeper questions about meaning and purpose. His style is straightforward and conversational. He aims to make sessions useful from the first meeting, offering feedback, encouragement, and practical next steps.
People looking for a thoughtful, experienced counselor often find his approach steady and goal-oriented.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's own goals. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify values and choices; this can be useful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or anger. It provides concrete tools and exercises to try between sessions so people can see gradual change in daily life.
Existential Therapy looks at bigger questions about meaning, purpose, and responsibility. It helps people who are grappling with life direction, midlife transitions, or feelings of emptiness to think through what matters most to them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and live chat or text work well for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to continue progress without frequent travel.
