About Alfred
Dr. Alfred White, Jr. is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Louisiana with 26 years of experience. He works with everyday people on common life concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting questions, career strain, and issues around identity and sexuality. He also lists family of origin issues among his areas of focus.
He approaches work as a consultant who asks direct questions to help people name what they want from life. Sessions focus on clarifying a person's sense of self, identifying practical obstacles, and mapping steps toward preferred routines and roles. The language is straightforward and oriented to action rather than jargon.
Dr. White uses client-centered ideas to keep the conversation focused on the person's perspective. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Existential ideas are used when people want to talk about meaning, purpose, and life choices.
Typical topics include coping with life changes, midlife questions, fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, money and workplace stress, and recovery from loss or addictive patterns. He frames these topics as problems to be looked at and worked through together, not as labels that define a person.
His background includes a Master of Counseling from the University of New Orleans and a Doctorate in Counseling. The profile lists Louisiana licensure as LPC and FL LMHC, reflecting his professional credentials and long experience supporting adults with practical life issues.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Dr. White uses client-centered methods that keep the session focused on the person's own perspective and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a clearer sense of what they want and how their choices fit with their values.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, addressing unhelpful thinking patterns, and setting concrete behavioral steps to change daily routines or reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review how these ways of working feel in session and decide with the client which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That decision is collaborative and may shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Licensed professionals can use remote meetings to work on thought patterns, role issues from family of origin, and practical planning for life changes without requiring in-person visits.
