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 experience. He focuses on addictions and related struggles, and he aims to help people find steady progress without shame. His style is down-to-earth and straightforward, geared toward people ready to change.
He offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about substance use, process addictions, and sexual or intimacy-related issues.
How Roy works
He also supports people dealing with parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, anxiety, trauma, and family-of-origin concerns. Sessions cover practical steps and honest conversation rather than jargon. Roy uses Client-Centered Therapy to meet each person where they are and Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change.
He draws on his personal experience in the U.S. Marine Corps to understand structure, resilience, and the challenges of major life transitions. He can include spiritual or faith-based perspectives when a person wants that woven into care.
Work often includes identifying goals, exploring patterns that feed addiction or relationship problems, and trying new approaches between sessions. He emphasizes clear, doable steps and checking in on progress. The aim is steady forward movement, not quick fixes.
Sessions are available in English and are offered through online formats such as video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. People should expect a direct, practical approach with room for deeper reflection and healing. Background and approach: Roy combines a client-centered stance with motivational techniques to support lasting change.
He brings 11 years of practice to work that centers on addiction, intimacy-related concerns, and the emotional fallout of trauma and family issues. He balances practical coping strategies with space to process guilt, shame, and questions of life purpose. He helps people weigh their options, set realistic goals, and follow through with plans that fit their daily lives.
Progress is tracked in straightforward ways and adjusted as needs shift.

How his approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy is about being heard and respected. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach is useful when someone needs space to sort emotions, values, and goals without pressure.Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person's own reasons to change. It uses questions and reflective listening to resolve mixed feelings and increase commitment to actionable steps. This method is often used with addictions, substance use, and behavior change work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past attempts at change. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction and richer communication, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support between sessions and can help keep momentum during busy days. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on recovery and growth.
