More about Roy

  • 9 years' experience

  • LMFT

I love working in a profession that redeems pain and unlocks untold possibilities. I am humbled to be a part of a journey that brings hope and future to those who seek it. I am a graduate of the Marriage and Family therapy program at Liberty University and I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Marriage and Family therapy, specializing in couples.

As a licensed Marriage and Family therapist, the bulk of my practice is with couples and individuals struggling to manage healthy relationships. However, I have experience working with Adolescents (14-18) and Adults on a broad range of issues including depression, trauma, anxiety, parenting issues, blended families, marital conflicts, relationship issues, premarital counseling, and divorce recovery. I have additional interests in healthy sexuality and cultural identity issues.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
