About Marc

Marc Rott is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 26 years of experience to conversations about family and parenting. He uses a warm, collaborative style that helps people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and parenting concerns. Marc aims to understand the patterns and beliefs that keep people stuck, not just treat surface symptoms.

He practices in Oregon and has worked in hospitals, independent practice, and higher education. That range means he is familiar with short-term supports and longer-term change.

Background and approach

Marc draws from evidence-based tools but adjusts them to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. He mixes talk-based work with techniques to change thoughts, emotions, and bodily responses.

Clients often explore communication, boundaries, and ways to manage stress in daily life. Marc also supports people with issues around intimacy, identity, and life transitions. He lists experience with ADHD, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and relationship conflicts among his areas of focus.

His approach remains patient and respectful while tackling difficult topics. Marc offers multiple ways to meet, including video, phone, chat, and messaging. He helps people make a plan that fits their schedule and needs.

The first step is a short questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy process.

Approaches that translate well to online family work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful, non-judgmental space. It helps people feel heard and clearer about their goals, which can be useful for parenting and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships. It helps partners or family members notice and change interactions that cause distance or hurt, and it supports reconnecting around emotions and needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. That process can include trying different techniques and checking in on what feels most helpful.

Online sessions make attending therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when schedules or travel are a barrier. Phone, live chat, and messaging offer shorter, more frequent contact for check-ins or when talking by voice feels hard. These options let people fit therapy into busy family lives while keeping the focus on practical progress and clear next steps.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
