Marc Rott, LCSW

Marc Rott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of clinical experience, licensed to practice in Oregon. He has provided care in a variety of settings including hospital-based services, private practice, and higher education, where he taught for over 25 years. His background supports work with individuals, couples, and families facing a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, parenting and blended family issues, intimacy and sexual culture matters, confidence and self-esteem struggles, anger, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Rott emphasizes discovering the deeper patterns and beliefs that shape how people think, feel, and relate, believing that addressing root causes can foster more lasting change than focusing on symptoms alone. He describes his approach as warm, supportive, and collaborative, creating a non-judgmental space where people can explore what lies beneath surface problems. His practice draws on evidence-based methods, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Somatic Therapy, and he tailors these approaches to each person's needs and goals.

Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger syndrome, BDSM and kink, body image, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, communication and control issues, commitment and divorce matters, fatherhood and first responder issues, forgiveness work, and relational communication. Throughout his work he aims to move at a pace that feels right for each person while supporting not only coping but meaningful, lasting change.
