Marc Rott, LCSW

Marc Rott is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. He practices in Oregon and works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. He also helps those navigating life changes, intimacy issues, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns.

Marc focuses on how thoughts and everyday habits keep difficult patterns in place. He looks past symptoms to the beliefs and routines that shape how people think and act. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for each person.

His approach is warm and non-judgmental. He listens closely and helps people identify the root causes behind recurring problems. He combines practical strategies with attention to feelings and bodily experience.

Marc has worked in hospital settings, private practice, and higher education, where he taught for over 25 years. That background informs his clear, steady style and his focus on usable skills for everyday life.

People who come to him often want more than short-term coping. They want changes that last. He partners with them to build new habits, address relationship patterns, and gain clearer choices about how to respond under stress.

How Marc’s approaches translate to online work

Marc blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice how thoughts and habits affect daily life. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgmental relationship so clients can talk through what matters most. CBT provides clear tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of patterns.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. Marc will work with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and how they prefer to work. He adapts pacing and interventions over time so people can try strategies and see what helps.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time on a hectic day. It also lets people continue regular sessions while managing work, caregiving, or relocation. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can use these approaches effectively when the focus is on changing thoughts and everyday habits.
