01About Michael
Dr. Michael Becerra helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting strains, and the challenge of life changes. He also supports concerns like self-esteem, career doubts, intimacy issues, sleeping problems, anger, depression, and ADHD.
He practices as an LPC and works with a range of personal and identity issues, including LGBT concerns and men's midlife questions. He brings 14 years of experience across community settings, schools, college campuses, and vocational rehabilitation.
Background and approach
He has practiced in multiple states and spent six years living in Colombia, where he worked with intercultural couples and U.S. expats. That background shapes a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions tend to be conversational and interactive.
He uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build short-term, concrete steps toward change. He adapts those approaches to each person's situation.
People can expect a calm, supportive presence in sessions. Conversations focus on goals, strengths, and small workable changes. He aims to help people get clearer about what matters and take manageable steps forward.
Besides typical mental health concerns, he pays attention to family of origin issues, life purpose, aging and geriatric questions, and career transitions. He emphasizes practical coaching when clients want clearer direction. Sessions are offered in English and take place online or by phone.
Dr. Becerra is based in Louisiana and holds LPC credentials noted for work in the region.

04Online support
Narrative and Solution-Focused Work Online
Dr. Becerra uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves. This approach helps separate a person from a problem and find new ways to describe their strengths and identity. It can be useful for relationship struggles, life purpose questions, and identity concerns.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on small, practical steps. That method focuses on what works now and builds quick experiments to test change. It often helps with stress, anxiety, career transitions, and getting unstuck.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods as progress happens and new needs come up.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, family, and travel while keeping the focus on practical change.
