Marc Rott, LCSW

Marc Rott is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. He offers a calm, collaborative style and helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain. Marc works with relationship and intimacy-related issues alongside anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem concerns.

He focuses on seeing what lies beneath symptoms. Instead of only treating surface worries, he helps clients identify patterns, beliefs, and life experiences that keep problems repeating. That makes change feel more stable and meaningful over time.

Marc draws from a mix of practical approaches. He uses client-centered work to follow what matters to each person, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally-focused methods to improve connection and closeness. Mindfulness and somatic ideas are also used to help people notice body-based cues and manage stress.

His background includes hospital-based care, private practice, and more than two decades teaching in higher education. Those experiences shape a grounded, informed approach that balances real-world help with thoughtful reflection.

Marc aims to create a respectful, non-judgmental space. Sessions move at a pace that fits each person, and the focus is on practical steps plus deeper understanding. If someone wants help with intimacy concerns, relationships, parenting strains, or the stress of life changes, he can be a steady collaborator.

How core approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s priorities and experience. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, follows what matters most, and adapts sessions to each person’s pace and goals. It helps when someone wants focused, individualized attention.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behavior experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete tools to change thinking and routine responses.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they respond to one another. It can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and relationship repair by improving how partners or individuals express needs and feelings.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. That selection can shift over time as progress and priorities change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to check in during life transitions. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online and in-person options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
