About Roy
He draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person’s lead and motivational interviewing to build commitment to change. Sessions combine practical conversation, problem-solving, and skills practice rather than long lectures. Spiritual or faith-based views can be included when desired and appropriate.
Having served in the United States Marine Corps, he brings an understanding of discipline, structure, and resilience to his work. That background informs how he supports people through life transitions and recovery from addictive behaviors. He works with issues like substance use, process addictions, anger, guilt, shame, and fatherhood concerns.
In sessions, Roy tends to be straightforward and respectful. He listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. Over time the focus may shift from safety and stabilization to deeper growth and clearer life direction.
People who choose him can expect a collaborative, goal-focused process. He uses practical tools and plain language to make therapy useful in day-to-day life. If you want to begin, follow the site steps to match and schedule a session.

How his approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's concerns and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.Motivational interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It uses short, focused conversations to build the desire and confidence to act differently. This method is often used for substance use, process addictions, and other behaviors where increasing motivation matters.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. From that conversation he helps design a plan that fits the person’s needs and pace, and adjusts as progress is made.
