About Michael
Dr. Michael Becerra is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship concerns, and life transitions. He brings a calm, down-to-earth manner to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel better. He works with issues such as self-esteem, career shifts, parenting strain, anger, depression, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns.
He has practiced in community settings, school districts, college campuses, and vocational rehabilitation agencies. He also lived for six years in Colombia, working with intercultural couples and U.S. expats adjusting to life abroad. He holds LPC credentials in New Jersey and Georgia and practices in Louisiana.
His style is relaxed and interactive. He frames therapy around growth, social connection, and everyday goals rather than technical jargon. Sessions tend to focus on what’s happening now and on clear steps a person can try between meetings to move forward.
He commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical changes that lead to better days. These methods are applied to concerns like sleep disruption, intimate relationship struggles, and midlife questions about purpose.
People who are coming through a big change or who want focused, goal-oriented work may find his approach useful. To begin, visitors are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Becerra uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and to find alternative ways of understanding their difficulties. This approach can make it easier to change the way sleep problems, relationships, or life roles are talked about and managed.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which zeroes in on small, practical changes that produce noticeable differences. This is useful for people who want concrete steps to improve sleep habits, manage anxiety, or navigate career and relationship transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may blend techniques to match what’s most helpful for sleep, stress, or relationship concerns.
