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, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related problems. He also pays attention to codependency, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and a range of process and sex addictions.
Cecrle draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide sessions. He uses straightforward conversation to help people clarify goals and find motivation to change. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest reflection rather than labels or lectures.
His time in the United States Marine Corps informs his approach. That background influences how he talks about discipline, resilience, and reconciling personal values with daily life. He is comfortable addressing concerns that arise from military experience alongside broader addiction and relationship issues.
In session he often works on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck. He helps people practice new communication habits and manage urges tied to substance or process addictions. He will also explore family of origin issues and fatherhood-related questions when they are relevant to current struggles.
Clients who want to include spiritual or faith perspectives can bring those into sessions. Cecrle aims to balance practical tools with conversations about meaning and purpose. To begin, he asks people to set clear goals and then uses motivational strategies to support steady progress.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and the person's own goals. In plain terms this means the therapist follows what matters most to the client and uses reflective listening to help them clarify goals and choices. It is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and deciding on changes related to parenting or addiction.Motivational Interviewing is a practical method for building motivation to change. Sessions use targeted questions and reflections to tease out ambivalence and strengthen commitment to specific steps. This approach is often used when addressing substance use, process addictions, or behavioral changes tied to family roles and parenting.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaboration helps shape session focus and pace over time.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and motivational strategies so they work across remote sessions, helping clients practice new communication skills and manage urges between meetings.
