How Roy’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to each person's concerns and priorities. The therapist reflects what he hears, helps clarify goals, and supports people as they decide what matters most. This approach is helpful for parents feeling overwhelmed or anyone needing straightforward guidance.Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change. It uses gentle questions and reflections to draw out a person's own reasons for change and build readiness. It is often used for substance use, process addictions, or changing difficult habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Roy will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and values, and he may blend techniques over time. The plan evolves as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work.

These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused on change and recovery.
