About Roc
Roc Kauffman is a licensed mental health counselor with over 21 years of professional experience. He earned an MA and holds LMHC and LCMHC credentials, and he practices in Vermont. Roc uses clear listening and practical planning to help people who reached a point where they want change.
Roc's style is client-centered and strengths-based. He starts by building a working relationship and learning each person's communication and learning style. From there he and the client set realistic goals and create simple steps to reach them. Roc often uses cognitive-behavioral tasks to keep momentum and motivational interviewing to clarify what matters most.
He draws on mindfulness practices to support lasting change and offers a range of techniques until something fits. Roc also uses EMDR and Internal Family Systems among other methods when appropriate, especially for people dealing with traumatic memories. He describes therapy as a collaborative process that takes persistence and routine practice.
Roc has experience with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and family matters, anger, career stress, bipolar disorder, depression, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. He notes many people show multiple symptoms that trace back to earlier adversity.
To begin, Roc asks people to reflect on their strengths and then works to increase their capacity to manage obstacles. He welcomes international clients and provides services in English. If someone wants a straightforward, steady approach with real-world homework, Roc aims to be a practical partner in that work.
How Roc's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and small committed actions to move life in the direction a person chooses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories by pairing guided processing with bilateral stimulation. It is often used for trauma-related symptoms and for reducing the intensity of past events.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Roc will collaborate with each person to select methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Some methods, like CBT homework and ACT exercises, adapt well to remote sessions, and trauma-focused work can also be conducted online with appropriate pacing and support. Licensed professionals will tailor pacing and homework to match what works for the individual.
