About Roc
Roc Kauffman is a licensed mental health counselor - MA LMHC and VT LCMHC - with 21 years of clinical experience. He works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and related issues.
Roc shifted into counseling after a long career in the home services and antique furniture repair business while he attended graduate school. He draws on attentive listening developed in those years and applies it to clinical work. He names a strengths-based, client-centered orientation as the starting point for helping people make changes.
Early sessions focus on building a working relationship and understanding how a person learns and communicates. Together the client and Roc set concrete goals and pick methods to reach them. He uses collaborative planning so clients know the steps ahead and can track progress.
His practical toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) assignments, insight techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems work. He offers exercises and short take-home tasks to keep people engaged between sessions.
Roc has worked with a wide age range and with diverse cultural backgrounds. He has substantial experience addressing trauma, grief, and loss with phase-oriented care and with treating symptoms that arise from adversity, including anxiety and mood concerns.
He encourages persistence and steady effort, and aims to increase a person’s capacity to manage obstacles through repeated practice and support.
How his approaches translate to online work
Roc uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy among other methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments and homework. It suits anxiety, depression, and patterns of avoidance by giving concrete tasks to practice between sessions. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people notice thoughts and still take steps that matter to them.He also names client-centered work, which means listening to how a person prefers to learn and adapt. Figuring out which approach fits is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to shorter practical tasks or screen-based worksheets, while others use guided practices and in-session exercises that you can do from your chosen location. Roc will discuss which formats and pacing work best for scheduling and for applying practice between sessions.
