How narrative and solution-focused work online

Therapy with Dr. Becerra draws on Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives. It helps separate a person from their problem and find alternate stories that support chosen goals. This can be useful for changing patterns around relationships, identity, and life purpose.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is already working and on small, achievable steps. Sessions often set concrete goals and try brief experiments between meetings. This approach fits concerns like stress, career moves, coping with change, and sleep or motivation problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to match methods to needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying ideas together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and make follow-up conversations more convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt narrative and solution-focused techniques to remote sessions so progress can continue when in-person meetings are not possible.
