About Marc
Marc Rott is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. He practices in Oregon and offers a steady, practical approach that focuses on understanding what keeps problems repeating.

He blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work. That means sessions often include careful listening, tracking patterns, and trying new ways of responding in relationships.
Background and approach
He also uses mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people work with stress that shows up in the body. Marc has worked in hospitals, independent practice, and higher education where he taught for over 25 years. That range of settings informs how he supports people facing life transitions, caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, and first responder issues.
He also helps with identity and intimacy topics such as LGBT concerns, kink and alternative sex culture, and body image. In sessions he aims to be warm and collaborative. He helps people untangle the beliefs and habits that keep them feeling stuck.
Marc offers practical steps alongside space to process difficult emotions. People come for many reasons - parenting strain, blended family challenges, divorce, ADHD, or simply feeling empty. He works at a pace that fits each person and focuses on building skills that can be used outside the session.
How Marc’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their priorities and values. This approach is useful for people who need space to make sense of feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small experiments to change responses. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will collaborate to pick methods that match your needs, goals, and comfort level. Together you can combine listening, skills practice, mindfulness, or body-centered techniques as those choices feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and relationship work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat allow brief, flexible contact between calls and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to get consistent support while balancing work, caregiving, and other life demands.
