    About Roy

    Roy Cecrle is a licensed counselor in California who helps people facing addiction and related struggles. He focuses on addictive behaviors, substance use, process addictions, and the emotional issues that come with them. He also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and family-of-origin wounds.

    He draws on eleven years of clinical experience and offers a calm, straightforward presence. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most to the client and to build practical steps toward change. Conversations are collaborative and paced to match each person’s readiness and goals.

    Roy uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to guide conversations, while also bringing in tools from other approaches as needed. He can include faith or spiritual perspectives when clients want that included in their work. He frames recovery as a process that mixes self-reflection with doable actions.

    His background includes military service, which informs his emphasis on resilience, routine, and clear communication. That experience shapes how he listens and how he helps clients translate insight into steady habits.

    People meet him for help with parenting strain, fatherhood issues, communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and life-purpose questions. He frames therapy as practical problem-solving paired with steady support to keep progress moving forward.

  2. How Roy’s Approaches Work Online

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that focuses on a person’s own reasons for change. It helps people move past uncertainty by weighing options and building small, concrete plans. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what the person says so they feel heard and can find their own solutions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking in, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.

    Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work or family demands, reduce travel time, and allow for steady check-ins to maintain momentum. Some formats also let people choose audio-only conversations when video is not ideal, or shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Roy uses his client-centered, motivational style to help translate online sessions into real changes and practical habits that last.
