About Michael
Dr. Michael Becerra is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 14 years of experience. He practices in Louisiana and works with adults around stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem, career changes, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also supports people dealing with parenting, sleeping problems, anger, depression, ADHD, and life transitions.
He trained and worked across community settings, school districts, college campuses, and vocational rehabilitation agencies. He has experience with disability-related work and spent six years living in Colombia, where he worked with intercultural couples, gay couples, U.S. expats, and volunteers adjusting to life abroad. He holds LPC credentials in New Jersey and Georgia as well as Louisiana licensure.
In sessions he keeps a laid-back, interactive style. He draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe recurring stories that shape current behavior. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps that change day-to-day patterns.
People can expect conversational sessions that look at how childhood roles and family expectations still influence decisions now. He talks through patterns, current stressors, and options rather than focusing only on past events. He will work with clients to set short-term goals and track progress.
He also offers coaching-oriented support for career concerns and motivation. That work concentrates on specific skills and planning, as well as ways to manage anxiety or low confidence that get in the way.
To begin, readers should confirm session options and scheduling details through the service's booking flow. The therapist works in English and does not accept international clients at this time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Becerra uses Narrative Therapy to help people identify and reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That approach looks at how past roles and family expectations shape current choices and helps people test alternative ways of understanding their behavior.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on specific, achievable changes. This method focuses on small steps and practical strategies to reduce stress, improve relationships, or address work and motivation issues.
Choosing which approach to prioritize is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide whether to focus on reframing long-standing patterns or on short-term strategies, and can combine elements from both based on goals and preferences.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow therapy to continue during relocations or schedule changes. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and goal-setting to remote sessions so progress can be tracked between appointments.
