About Marc
Marc Rott is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 26 years of experience to his work. He practices in Oregon and uses a somatic-informed approach alongside talk therapy to help people feel steadier in their bodies and minds. His manner is calm and practical, and he focuses on making therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.
He helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult life changes. He also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and confidence.
Background and approach
Marc works with questions related to ADHD, blended families, and communication or control problems as well. Marc combines body-focused noticing with client-centered listening and cognitive tools. That means sessions might include paying attention to physical sensations, naming emotions, and trying simple strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts or reactions.
The aim is to uncover patterns that keep problems repeating and to offer doable steps to change them. He has worked in hospitals, independent practice, and higher education, where he also taught for more than 25 years. Those settings shaped a direct, down-to-earth style that values clarity and collaboration.
Marc tailors each plan to what a person needs and moves at a pace that feels right. Starting therapy can feel hard, but Marc focuses on building trust quickly and offering practical ways forward. He works in English and accepts international clients for online sessions when that fits the person seeking help.
How somatic and talk approaches work online
Marc blends somatic awareness with client-centered and cognitive-behavioral work to support people in online sessions. Somatic Therapy focuses on noticing bodily sensations, breath, and posture to help reduce overwhelm and increase present-moment calm; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and trauma-related reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental relationship where the person's goals guide the work and the therapist listens deeply. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Marc will talk with each person about their goals, try methods collaboratively, and adjust the plan as needed. The work is paced to what feels comfortable and aimed at practical changes that matter in daily life.
Online therapy gives flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, continue work while traveling, or choose how much real-time interaction feels right. The variety of options supports steady progress in a way that fits each person's life.
