About Roy

Roy Cecrle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. He focuses on addictions, anger, parenting concerns, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Roy speaks English and draws on his background to help people navigate difficult emotions and behavior patterns.

Roy’s practice emphasizes straightforward, practical work. He uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to help people explore what matters to them and find reasons to change. Sessions often include talking through triggers, identifying patterns, and building small, doable skills to manage reactions and cravings.

His background includes service in the United States Marine Corps, which informs his approach to resilience, structure, and accountability. That experience shapes how he talks about goals, responsibility, and recovery without relying on jargon. For people dealing with process or substance addictions, he addresses both behavior and the feelings that drive it.

Roy is comfortable including spiritual or faith perspectives when clients want that reflected in sessions. He also works with issues like codependency, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and family of origin dynamics. His style is steady and practical, focusing on what the client wants to change and the next steps to get there.

How sessions work

How Roy uses client-centered and motivational methods online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It emphasizes the client's own goals, and helps people make choices that fit their values. This approach can be useful for anger and relationship concerns where understanding personal values changes behavior.

Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen a person’s own reasons for altering behavior. This approach fits well with addiction, process behaviors, and stages of readiness to manage anger differently.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily life, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other commitments because they reduce travel time and allow appointments from different locations. Shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video can also be arranged if that better fits a client's schedule or energy levels.
