About Marc

Marc Rott is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon with 26 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who bring concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem or life transitions. Sessions are meant to identify patterns that keep problems repeating and to find practical ways forward.

He uses an approachable, collaborative style in sessions. Marc helps people talk through the beliefs and experiences that shape how they feel and behave. He mixes evidence-based tools with mindfulness and body-aware methods to address both thoughts and physical reactions.

Marc has worked in hospitals, private practice, and higher education, where he taught for over 25 years. That variety informs a pragmatic approach to problems that shows up in clear goal-setting and skill-building. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused methods, Client-Centered principles, mindfulness, and somatic approaches depending on the situation.

People often come to him for help with parenting and family stress, blended family issues, intimacy and relationship problems, ADHD, and managing anger. He also takes on topics such as body image, caregiving stress, commitment and communication problems, and working through separation or divorce.

Marc aims for steady, usable change rather than quick fixes. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and building coping skills that fit everyday life.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Marc integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into a practical online approach. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches concrete skills for changing them, which works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused work focuses on the experience of feelings and improving how people respond in close relationships, which can help with intimacy and family tensions.

He also uses Client-Centered principles to keep sessions collaborative and Somatic-informed techniques to notice how the body reacts during stress. Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit the issue and the person’s comfort level.

The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use appointment slots around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT skill work to a remote setting to keep progress moving between sessions.
