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 manage addiction, anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly and begin practical change.

He focuses on addictions and addictive behaviors alongside concerns like parenting stress, self-esteem, trauma and intimacy issues. Sessions often include straightforward goal-setting and steps to reduce harmful behaviors. He also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, and the emotional fallout of guilt and shame.

Cecrle draws on client-centered work and motivational interviewing to meet each person where they are. Those approaches guide conversations so clients feel heard and can discover their own reasons for change. He also integrates tools from cognitive-behavioral ideas, trauma-informed practices, and mindfulness when they fit the goals.

His background includes service in the United States Marine Corps, which influences his emphasis on discipline, resilience, and connection. He is open to incorporating spiritual or faith-based perspectives when clients want that included.

People who come to him can expect practical steps, clear feedback, and a focus on what matters most to their recovery and relationships. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How client-centered care and motivational interviewing work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The therapist reflects concerns, helps clarify goals, and supports the person's own choices about change. This approach is useful for emotional concerns, self-esteem issues, and navigating difficult personal decisions.

Motivational interviewing is a brief, goal-oriented style that helps people explore their reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and commitment, which can be helpful for addictions and behavior changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time as goals evolve.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue care across moves within the same state when rules allow. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to ensure the plan fits your routine.
