About Alfred
He approaches conversations as consultative sessions. He asks focused questions that help people reflect on who they are now and who they want to be. That process highlights practical obstacles and possible paths forward rather than relying on jargon or long lectures.
Clients often explore issues such as work concerns, relationship struggles, grief, addictions, and questions about identity and purpose. He also addresses topics like parenting strains, fatherhood issues, midlife changes, and money or career stress. Anger and coping with life change are part of his regular practice.
Dr. White uses Client-Centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to spot unhelpful patterns and try different behaviors. Existential conversation helps people consider meaning and values when life feels uncertain.
He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of New Orleans and a Doctorate in Counseling earned in 1999. His professional credentials include LPC and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and he practices in Louisiana. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. White draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on what matters most to each person. That approach emphasizes listening and following the client’s priorities, which can work well in remote sessions where the pace and focus are set together.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify thought and behavior patterns and to practice small changes between sessions. CBT methods lend themselves to online work because clients can try new habits and report back on what did or did not help.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working that match those needs. That means plans can change over time as new priorities emerge and progress is tracked collaboratively.
The therapist profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. For some people, not being in an office helps them stay consistent with appointments and practice new skills between meetings.
