About Marc
Marc Rott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, and parenting concerns. He combines practical skills with a calm, supportive style to help people feel more steady and confident. Marc works with individuals and couples to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns that keep them stuck.
He focuses on understanding the root causes behind distress rather than just treating symptoms.
Background and approach
In sessions he helps clients notice recurring thoughts, emotional reactions, and behavior patterns. That often leads to clearer choices and different ways of relating to others and to oneself. Marc adapts his approach to each person.
He uses client-centered listening alongside methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness, and somatic practices. The result is a mix of practical tools, emotion-focused exploration, and body-based awareness tailored to the issue at hand. Common concerns he addresses include parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, mood and anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem, and problems tied to life transitions or caregiver stress.
He also has experience supporting people navigating identity, kink and alternative-sex culture, blended family dynamics, and widowhood or serious illness impacts. Marc has worked in hospitals, independent practice, and higher education, where he taught for over 25 years. His style is collaborative and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping clients make workable changes at a pace that fits their life.

Online approaches that focus on relationships and daily life
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful working relationship. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change in their relationships, parenting, or personal life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, mood problems, and everyday habits that interfere with parenting or relationship goals.
Emotionally-focused work concentrates on how people experience and communicate feelings in close relationships. It can help partners and individuals understand patterns that lead to disconnection and practice new ways of reaching for support.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust over time based on what helps most. Clients help steer the pace and focus of sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations that feel most like in-person work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people share short updates or get help between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting and work schedules.
