About Marc
Marc Rott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and ADHD. He aims for straightforward, compassionate care that gets to the heart of what’s causing distress.
Marc draws from Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally-Focused, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to shape sessions that fit each person. He looks beyond symptoms to the patterns and beliefs that keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
That helps people make changes that last rather than only managing short-term symptoms. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what the client can handle. Marc keeps the tone warm and nonjudgmental while encouraging practical steps clients can try between meetings.
He often blends talking work with mindfulness and body-aware exercises when it helps. His background includes hospital work, independent practice, and more than two decades teaching in higher education. That mix informs a practical style grounded in real-world experience.
Marc uses this experience to help people sort through complicated emotions and decisions. People come for help with relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem and confidence, coping with life changes, caregiver stress, and sexual culture questions like kink and BDSM. He also supports those navigating blended family dynamics, divorce, and first responder stress.
Marc practices in Oregon and offers sessions in English. He accepts international clients and works with people who want both coaching-style help and deeper therapeutic work.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy is focused on the client's experience and priorities. The therapist follows the person’s lead, listens deeply, and helps clarify goals and values so decisions feel clearer and more self-directed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test beliefs and build different habits of thinking that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions that drive relationship patterns. It is useful for repairing connection, addressing intimacy-related concerns, and changing how people respond in charged moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust methods as needed. This is a collaborative process where the person’s preferences and life situation guide the plan.
Online formats make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or cameras are limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, do short coaching-style work, or use messages when a brief touchpoint is all that’s needed.
