Marc Rott, LCSW

Marc Rott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, and the strain of major life changes. Marc aims for therapy that helps people feel less stuck and more able to move forward.

Marc focuses on understanding the patterns and beliefs that keep problems going. He uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally focused methods, mindfulness, and somatic techniques to match what each person needs. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced to what feels comfortable for the individual.

His background includes hospital-based care, private practice, and more than 25 years teaching in higher education. That mix informs a practical style that balances compassion with clear tools for day-to-day life. Marc often helps people rebuild confidence, manage anger, and sort through communication and intimacy concerns.

He also works with people dealing with ADHD, autism or Asperger syndrome, body image and sexuality topics including BDSM and kink, blended family and fatherhood issues, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and first responder stress. This range reflects long experience with varied life challenges rather than a single focus.

Marc practices in Oregon and offers services in English. His approach pairs listening with practical steps so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. It helps people feel heard and guides the therapist and client to choose goals together. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and encourages practical experiments and skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change patterns in close relationships by naming emotions and practicing new ways of connecting.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try different methods and see what fits best for their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative testing helps shape ongoing sessions and the techniques used between meetings.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, with fewer travel needs and more flexible timing. They also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that don't require being on camera when that helps, and they make it possible for people who live far from the therapist's office or outside the region to connect. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered work, and EFT to online conversations and exercises so clients can practice new skills between sessions.
