Hi Joshua,
I would start with the basic strokes. Watch the Backhand Counterhit and the Backhand Push.
The next thing is to make sure you are moving behind the ball when playing these strokes. If the ball is on your left side, move over so the ball is in front of you. The footwork movement is to jump to your left. The other critical thing is to have your feet square to the table. If you are turned too far to face your forehand side, the backhand will always be difficult.

Crossover Footwork
When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
