About Roy

Roy Cecrle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) supervisor in Texas with 11 years of experience. He works with people facing addictions, anger, stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and issues tied to family and trauma. He also helps with parenting concerns, self-esteem, intimacy-related problems, and recovery from process or substance addictions.

Cecrle draws on client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing in sessions. He focuses on practical conversations that clarify what matters to the client. He listens for motivation to change and then helps people translate that motivation into concrete steps they can try between meetings.

His background includes service in the United States Marine Corps, which influences how he talks about discipline, resilience, and connection. He also addresses fatherhood issues, family of origin concerns, and veteran- and armed-forces-related topics when relevant. Spiritual or faith-based ideas can be included if the client wishes.

Sessions look for clear goals and realistic habits that fit day-to-day life. He often combines motivational interviewing with client-centered listening to reduce shame and increase forward movement. People working on drug and alcohol addiction, sex or process addictions, or communication and codependency issues will find this practical emphasis familiar.

Work with Cecrle centers on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Conversations are direct and focused on what a person can try next. He helps people sort through guilt, forgiveness, life purpose, and the practical steps needed to manage anger and related patterns.

How his approaches shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. Sessions begin with open listening to understand what the person wants to change, then the therapist follows the client's lead to develop goals and next steps. This approach helps with issues like anger, self-esteem, and relationship patterns.

Motivational interviewing concentrates on finding and strengthening a person's own reasons for change. It uses questions and reflections to resolve mixed feelings and build small, practical commitments. This method is often useful for addictions, process behaviors, and stages of readiness for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss how these methods might help based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as progress is tracked. The process is collaborative and focused on practical moves the client can try between sessions.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like motivational interviewing and client-centered conversations to remote sessions so the work stays focused on clear goals and habits.
