About Michael
Dr. Michael Becerra is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - with 14 years of experience. He practices in Louisiana and helps people handle stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting questions, career and life changes, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.
He uses a relaxed, interactive style in sessions. Conversations tend to be direct and practical. He draws on narrative and solution-focused approaches to help people see patterns, try small changes, and measure what works.
Dr. Becerra's background includes community work, school districts, college campuses, and vocational rehabilitation. He has experience with disability-related issues, immigration, men's issues, and working with people adjusting to life abroad after living in Colombia for six years.
In practice he leans on Adlerian ideas about growth and social interest, framed simply as looking at life tasks like work, friendships, and intimacy. Sessions look at how present behavior connects to goals and values, then test concrete steps to relieve stress and manage anger.
People can expect a straightforward conversation about what’s happening now, followed by short-term goals and practical strategies. He also integrates coaching-style techniques for motivation and confidence when helpful. To begin, clients are directed to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Becerra commonly uses Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. It helps uncover repeating themes that can keep anger or resentment alive and offers ways to reframe those stories. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term, measurable changes. It focuses on small experiments and clear next steps that can reduce stress and manage reactions more effectively.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set practical objectives and test what helps in day-to-day life rather than promising a single path up front.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support continuity when someone is between jobs or locations. Licensed professionals can adapt narrative exercises and solution-focused steps to remote conversations, helping people practice new responses to anger and track progress over time.
