About Roy

Roy Cecrle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eleven years of experience. He focuses on men's wellbeing and helps people dealing with addiction, anxiety, stress, anger, self-esteem, and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports issues like parenting stress, relationship and family conflict, and trauma and abuse.

Roy offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where individuals can talk through difficult behaviors and emotions. He emphasizes practical steps and honest conversation. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the person and to build short-term goals that fit everyday life.

He uses client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. These approaches guide conversations about substance use, process addictions, and the habits that keep people stuck. Roy also draws on a range of tools to help clients manage stress and improve relationships.

His military service in the United States Marine Corps informs his respect for structure, resilience, and duty. He welcomes discussing spiritual or faith-based perspectives when they matter to the client. That background shapes how he listens and offers straightforward, actionable feedback.

Roy works with people aiming to start or sustain recovery, repair damaged relationships, or find clearer direction in life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Roy’s Approaches Work Online and in Conversation

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client wants to work on. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard, wants to sort priorities, or needs a steady place to try out new ways of relating.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change. It uses gentle, goal-focused conversation to strengthen motivation for recovery from substance use, process addictions, or other habits that feel out of control.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Roy will work together with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, values, and circumstances. That may mean trying different tools over several sessions to see what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow appointments during a lunch break or between commitments. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the available options before booking to know what will work best for your schedule. Many people find that shorter, regular check-ins help maintain progress, while longer sessions give space for deeper work.
