Once you've figured out what triggers your pet, put him in that situation as often as you can. This will help your dog become comfortable around people.

Prevent Your Dog From Barking at Strangers During His Daily Walks
When you see a stranger approaching during your walk, get a treat out and make sure your furry friend sees the treat. Also make sure that your dog sees this stranger walking your way. Your dog will become so focused on the treat that before he knows it, the stranger has already come and go. But before the stranger walks by, make sure you give your pet the treat as soon as the stranger passes you guys by. When your furry pet doesn't bark at the stranger, make sure you praise your pet profusely. Do this several times every day for a couple weeks. Your pet will soon learn to associate strangers on walks with good experiences.

Prevent Your Dog From Barking at Visitors
When you have a visitor at the door, or when the doorbell rings, have a tasty treat ready for your furry friend. Make sure you give your pet the treat just when the person knocks on the door or rings the doorbell. When this happens, your furry pet will learn to associate the door bell with a rewarding experience.

Once your visitor is inside, your dog may start to bark. In order to stop this, have treat ready in your hand. Make sure your dog sees the treat and when he's quieted down, give him the treat. Do not give your dog the treat when he is barking. This will only reinforce the barking behavior. Eventually, you will want your guest to give your dog the treat. Soon enough, with consistent practice, your dog will learn to associate pleasant experience when there is someone at the door or when you have a visitor.

What you are essentially doing is redirecting your dog's attention to something more positive and rewarding. You are also helping your dog associate what he fears most to something more pleasurable. Getting you dog focused on you and treat will help break your dog's bad habit of barking at strangers.
