Dr. Alfred White, Jr., LPC, LMHC

Dr. Alfred White, Jr. brings 26 years of experience helping people address everyday life problems. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Louisiana. He focuses on practical steps that help people move toward a more satisfying life. He begins by asking clear questions to help people name the life they want. That process highlights strengths, obstacles, and next steps. Sessions are collaborative; he offers feedback, support, and encouragement as clients try new ways of coping and relating. Dr. White works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and workplace issues. He also addresses relationship and intimacy questions, parenthood and fatherhood concerns, family of origin patterns, money stress, and questions about life purpose. He helps people who are wrestling with guilt, shame, or transitions in midlife and young adulthood. His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and existential ideas to help people clarify values and change unhelpful behavior. He uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises rather than jargon. Sessions typically focus on small, doable steps that fit into daily life. People who prefer a direct, question-based style tend to do well with his method. He aims to make therapy a team effort that helps clients gain clear insight and workable strategies. Dr. White also offers consultations aimed at identifying goals and mapping realistic paths toward them.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to name feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Existential Therapy invites people to examine meaning, choice, and values when facing life changes or questions about purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face and practice new skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to use video. Live chat and texting make it possible to check in between sessions or to have shorter, more frequent contacts. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments.
