Background and approach
Before practicing in Louisiana he worked in community settings, school districts, college campuses, and vocational rehabilitation agencies. He has broad experience with job transitions, motivation and confidence issues, and anger and depressive symptoms. He also lived for six years in Colombia, which included working with intercultural couples and U.S. expats adapting to life abroad.
His approach draws on narrative methods that look at the stories people tell about themselves. It also uses solution-focused techniques that aim for concrete changes in daily life. Sessions often mix exploring personal history with setting small, achievable goals.
People who come to him can expect a collaborative process. He asks about practical needs and personal values, then tailors short-term strategies to match them. He invites clients to track progress and adjust plans as challenges arise.
Narrative and Solution-Focused Work Online
Dr. Becerra uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how personal narratives shape feelings and behavior and helps reframe troublesome stories into more helpful ones. It can be useful for anxiety, self-esteem, relationship patterns, and life transitions.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. This method is brief and action-oriented, and can help with stress management, career decisions, parenting challenges, and getting unstuck during life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, values, and daily routine. Together they test strategies, review what helps, and adjust plans based on real progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video is good for fuller conversations and nonverbal cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can serve as quick check-ins or shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and to fit therapy into work, family, or school routines.
