About Marc
Marc Rott is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Oregon with 26 years of practice. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting concerns, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. He also works with clients facing life transitions, ADHD, and a wide range of relationship and sexual-culture questions.
His approach pays attention to patterns that keep problems going. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and somatic methods. That means sessions can include talking through emotions, noticing body sensations, and trying small behavior experiments between meetings.
Marc has worked in hospitals, private practice, and higher education, where he also taught for more than 25 years. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style. He aims to help people identify the root causes that shape how they feel and relate to others.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Conversations often focus on how feelings show up in relationships and daily life, and on ways to shift unhelpful patterns. He supports people exploring sexuality and kink, blended family dynamics, caregiving strain, and communication or commitment concerns.
People reach out for help with anger, body image, cancer-related stress, fatherhood issues, first responder strain, and forgiveness work. Marc also offers coaching for practical life changes.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and working with core emotions that show up in relationships and personal patterns. Online sessions can be used to identify stuck interaction cycles and practice new ways of responding in the moment.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. In remote sessions this can mean a steady, present conversation where the therapist reflects what matters most to the client and helps guide decisions about next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses small experiments to change them. That work often translates well to online appointments because homework and tracking can be reviewed between sessions.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a client's goals and preferences and adapt them as needed. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue regular work on emotions, behavior experiments, and mindfulness skills without changing daily routines.
