In sessions he assists clients in naming their ideal selves across different life areas, recognizing obstacles, and mapping attainable paths to change. That process can address family and parenting issues, career and workplace concerns, grief, addiction, self-esteem, sexual and LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, and many other common difficulties.

Dr. White earned a Master of Counseling from the University of New Orleans in 1994 and a Doctorate in Counseling in 1999. He is credentialed as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), credentials that indicate advanced training and clinical experience in counseling. He works with adults seeking practical guidance, coaching, and therapeutic support to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. White commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and existential ideas into his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens actively and helps clients explore their values and goals - this approach is helpful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Existential therapy encourages exploration of meaning, life purpose, and personal responsibility, which can be especially useful for midlife questions, identity matters, and coping with major life shifts.

Selecting the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. White works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for clients who live outside the therapist's immediate area. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and receive consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
