Marc Rott, LCSW

Marc Rott is an LCSW with 26 years of clinical experience based in Oregon. He offers warm, straightforward care for people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and the hard shifts that come in midlife. Marc focuses on helping clients understand patterns that keep them stuck and on practical steps to move forward.

He keeps sessions collaborative and down-to-earth. Marc listens for the beliefs and experiences that shape behavior and mood. From there he helps people identify small, doable changes and practices they can use between meetings.

Marc has worked in hospitals, private practice, and higher education, where he taught for over 25 years. That range of settings has shaped an approach that blends real-world skills with thoughtful reflection. He uses well-established methods tailored to each person’s needs.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through what matters most. Marc emphasizes understanding the root causes of recurring problems while also addressing immediate coping needs. He moves at a pace chosen with the client rather than pushing quick fixes.

If you are weighing life changes, facing relationship challenges, or want clearer direction during a midlife transition, Marc supports people in sorting priorities and building practical strategies. To begin, you will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Marc blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people make clear, practical changes. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so clients can explore what matters most. CBT looks at thinking and behavior patterns and uses concrete exercises to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas when relationship patterns are central. EFT-style work helps people notice how emotions shape interactions and then practice new ways of connecting and responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marc will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor techniques to fit those priorities. That collaborative process often includes trying a few different tools and adjusting as progress is made.

The main practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into busy lives. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. It also allows sessions when leaving home would be difficult, saves commuting time, and can make brief check-ins or follow-ups more manageable. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know which formats are possible.
