About Roc
Roc Kauffman brings more than two decades of clinical work to his therapy practice. He trained for a second career after many years in the home services and antique furniture repair field, and now uses that same careful attention to detail with people.
He holds a Master of Arts and practices as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and as a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC. He works from a strengths-based, client-centered stance and focuses first on building a strong working relationship.
Background and approach
Roc listens to what matters to each person and starts by mapping out realistic goals together. He draws on familiar tools like cognitive-behavioral exercises and mindfulness practices to help clients stay engaged between sessions. He also uses approaches for trauma processing and internal system work when those fit the situation.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s needs. Roc emphasizes practical steps - simple experiments, short skill practices, and motivational conversations - to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. He aims to expand coping abilities rather than impose a single method.
Over his 21 years of practice, Roc has worked with a broad range of concerns including grief, addiction, mood differences, ADHD, relationship struggles, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. He also supports LGBT clients and people dealing with trauma and abuse. Roc offers online options from Vermont and welcomes international clients.
He encourages people to start where they are and to expect steady, collaborative progress toward clearly defined goals.
Therapeutic methods and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors and experiments to test those thoughts. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and improving daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roc will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and the issues at hand, then recommend which methods to try first. He treats the choice as collaborative and adapts methods over time based on what helps the person make steady progress.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people connect face-to-face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and a way to maintain momentum between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep working on goals from different locations.
