About Michael
Dr. Michael Becerra focuses on concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, career questions, and men's wellbeing. He also helps with parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Dr. Becerra holds an LPC credential and brings 14 years of experience to his work in Louisiana.
His approach is relaxed and interactive. He draws on Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside a humanistic view shaped by Adlerian ideas about growth and social connection. Sessions often center on storytelling about your life, noticing patterns, and trying small, practical steps that can shift how things feel.
Clients can expect a conversational style that balances listening with actionable goals. The therapist tends to highlight strengths, clarify what matters most, and test small changes that build momentum. He frames concerns in everyday terms and keeps tools simple and practical.
Dr. Becerra has experience working in community settings, schools, college campuses, and vocational rehabilitation, and he spent six years living in Colombia working with intercultural and gay couples, as well as U.S. expats. That background informs cultural awareness in his work without claiming a particular specialty.
People who choose him usually want a down-to-earth therapist who helps them make steady progress. If you are exploring men’s issues, midlife questions, life purpose, or family-of-origin concerns, he can help you talk them through and plan next steps.
Narrative and Solution-Focused Approaches for Online Work
Dr. Becerra uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That approach looks at how events are organized into a life story and helps separate problems from identity. It can be helpful for relationship themes, life transitions, and questions about purpose.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to keep work practical and goal-directed. This method focuses on small, achievable steps and on what’s already working. It can suit people who want clear, short-term progress on stress, career choices, or specific behavior changes.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize storytelling, problem-solving, or a mix of both, and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt narrative and solution-focused techniques to remote conversations so work on goals can continue even when meeting from different locations.
