Marc Rott, LCSW

Marc Rott is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. He practices in Oregon and brings a calm, collaborative stance to sessions. He helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.

He focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, parenting concerns, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people working through ADHD, communication problems, commitment and control issues, and challenges tied to blended families. Jealousy may come up in relationship work and is part of his broader focus on relationship difficulties.

Marc believes lasting change comes from looking beneath symptoms to the patterns that keep them going. He uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused approaches. He also draws on mindfulness and somatic methods when those fit a person’s needs.

In sessions he aims to be warm and non-judgmental. He talks with people about goals and moves at a pace that feels comfortable. Practical tools and real conversations about patterns are common parts of his approach.

Marc has worked in hospitals, independent practice, and higher education, where he taught for over 25 years. His background gives him experience with a wide range of life transitions, caregiver stress, first responder concerns, and issues connected to body image, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and chronic illness.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability. Marc also accepts international clients; sessions are offered in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy places the client's experience and goals at the center. It involves listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs support making decisions or clarifying values.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short, specific exercises and clear skills to try between meetings, which can make progress feel measurable. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions and attachment patterns affect relationships. It helps people notice and change cycles that lead to distance, conflict, or jealousy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can blend approaches over time so the work matches changing needs.

The original biography does not list available online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and fit into a busy life. People often appreciate shorter check-ins between longer sessions, fewer travel demands, and the ability to attend from different locations. Licensed professionals tailor timing and homework to fit everyday routines rather than promising a single solution.
