About Marc

Marc Rott, LCSW, uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's experience first. He draws on cognitive behavioral tools and trauma-informed practices to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship strain. Marc writes plainly and meets people where they are. He has practiced in Oregon for many years and brings steady, practical support to difficult moments.

He believes progress comes from understanding the patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions often look at beliefs, habits, and interactions that feed anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship conflict. Marc blends mindfulness and somatic techniques to help people reconnect with their body and emotions while using cognitive strategies to change unhelpful thinking.

His style is warm and collaborative. He aims to make sessions feel respectful and straightforward so people can talk about what matters without judgment. He helps clients set small, achievable goals and tries to move at a pace that feels right.

Marc has worked in hospitals, private practice, and higher education over a long career. That range of experience informs a flexible approach to common life challenges like parenting stress, career transitions, and coping after separation. He also supports people navigating identity and intimacy questions.

If you are dealing with anger, relationship strain, or big life changes, Marc offers practical tools and reflective space to make different choices. To begin, use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

Marc uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening-focused relationship where the person's priorities guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and begin to name the problems they want to change.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marc will help you choose or blend methods based on your goals, needs, and preferences. He usually starts by listening to what feels most pressing and then works with you to try tools that fit your life.
