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, addictive behaviors, and life transitions, and also addresses parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. He served in the United States Marine Corps, and that background informs his practical approach to resilience and discipline.
Roy uses a client-centered style that keeps the person's goals front and center. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused. He draws on motivational interviewing to support change and to help people find internal reasons to move forward.
In practice he works with a range of addiction-related problems including drug and alcohol issues, process addictions such as gambling or pornography, and sex addiction. He also addresses codependency, communication problems, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Family of origin issues are part of his list of focuses when those patterns affect current behavior.
Roy says he can include spiritual or faith-based perspectives when a client wants that, and he aims to match practical tools to each person’s values. He describes his work as direct and nonjudgmental, offering concrete skills alongside conversations about meaning and motivation.
Clients who want to begin will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens for what matters most to the person and adapts questions and exercises around those priorities. This approach is useful when someone wants coaching, decision-making help, or a space to sort through strong feelings.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find personal reasons to change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and small steps to build momentum. This approach is often applied to substance use and other addictive behaviors where ambivalence is common.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences. That pairing can change over time as progress is made or new issues arise.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. Some formats may also let people choose shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that better suits their schedule or bandwidth.
