Marc Rott, LCSW

Marc Rott is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. He uses a practical, collaborative style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. He welcomes discussions about intimacy, identity, ADHD, and other life changes.

Marc focuses on uncovering the patterns and beliefs that keep problems repeating. Sessions tend to be direct and rooted in clear strategies, while also making room to understand emotions and history. He blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and emotionally focused work to tailor each session to the person's needs.

People often come for help with communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, or feeling stuck after a big life event. He also supports those dealing with body image, caregiver stress, first responder strains, and questions around kink and alternative sexual cultures. Marc pays attention to how life events shape day-to-day behavior and relationships.

His approach balances short-term tools and longer-term change. That can mean learning new thought and behavior patterns, practicing mindfulness and somatic awareness, and trying different ways of responding in relationships. He moves at a pace that clients find manageable and aims for practical steps between sessions.

Marc has worked in hospitals, private practice, and higher education for over two decades. He uses plain language in sessions and helps people set realistic goals they can work on between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Marc uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT techniques often include identifying negative thought patterns, testing them in daily life, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.

He also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and collaboration. This means the therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects their experience, and shapes sessions around what matters most to that person.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-based CBT tools, emotional processing, or mindfulness and somatic practices so therapy fits the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and watching how people respond. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text are useful for brief coaching, daily check-ins, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
