About Roy

Roy Cecrle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. He has 11 years of experience helping people facing addiction and life transitions. He focuses on addictive behaviors and related struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, and self-esteem.

He aims to offer steady, practical help in straightforward language. He draws on his military background to inform a measured, disciplined approach to recovery and change.

Background and approach

That life experience helps him understand how structure and connection matter when people work to rebuild. Sessions are meant to feel grounded and nonjudgmental, with attention to real-life steps clients can take. Roy uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to support motivation and personal choice.

He listens for what matters to each person and helps clarify goals. Where helpful, he blends other tools to address trauma, family patterns, and compulsive behaviors. He works with concerns that include parenting, family issues, relationships, intimacy-related problems, and a range of addiction types.

Additional areas include communication problems, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose. He also addresses process addictions such as gambling or pornography. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Roy emphasizes collaboration - matching tools to a client’s needs while honoring personal values and, if desired, spiritual or faith perspectives.

How Roy’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens carefully and helps clients make choices that fit their values and life. It is useful for exploring motivation, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues.

Motivational Interviewing concentrates on building a person's own reasons for change. The therapist asks questions that help clarify goals, resolve mixed feelings, and strengthen commitment to steps like reducing substance use or changing behavior patterns.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. Roy discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques to match needs. That collaborative process helps identify whether more emphasis should be on motivation, skills, or reflection.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. They also allow use of tools focused on behavioral steps, goal tracking, and short check-ins between longer sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
