About Michael
Dr. Michael Becerra, LPC, holds licenses in New Jersey and Georgia and has 14 years of clinical experience. He is based in Louisiana and works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family concerns, career questions, self-esteem, sleeping problems, anger, depression, ADHD, and LGBT concerns. He describes his style as laid back and interactive and uses Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in sessions.
He has worked in community settings, school districts, college campuses, and vocational rehabilitation agencies. He also has experience living and working abroad in Colombia, where he spent six years assisting intercultural and same-sex couples, U.S. expats, and volunteers adjusting to life overseas. That background informs his approach to cultural and life-transition issues.
In sessions he emphasizes practical conversation and collaborative problem solving. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe difficult stories about themselves. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and immediate steps forward.
Dr. Becerra describes his overall orientation as influenced by Adlerian ideas about growth and social interest. He aims to help clients address the tasks of work, friendship, and intimacy through active discussion and skill-building. He also mixes developmental perspectives to match clients' current needs.
He frames therapy as a chance to clarify goals, build motivation, and practice new behaviors.

Therapeutic approaches for remote sessions
Dr. Becerra uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problem stories. This approach looks at how a person describes events and works to identify alternative, more helpful narratives. It can be useful for stress, relationship issues, and problems rooted in past experiences.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes small, concrete steps and short-term goals. That method focuses on what is already working and on building practical strategies for immediate change. It can help with career decisions, coping with life transitions, and managing anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust them over time.
