About Roc
Roc Kauffman is a licensed mental health counselor who shifted into therapy after a long career in home services and antique furniture repair. He uses the name Roc professionally and brings 21 years of experience to his work. Roc holds MA LMHC LMHC5655 and a Vermont license LCMHC 068.0119006 and practices from Vermont.
He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, and related concerns.
Background and approach
Roc emphasizes clear listening and steady support. He starts by building a working relationship and learning how each person communicates and learns best. Sessions are grounded in the client’s existing strengths and resilience.
Together the therapist and client set goals and create a step-by-step plan to reach them. Roc draws from several evidence-informed tools. He often uses client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral exercises, and mindfulness practices to shift how people think and cope.
He also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - for trauma and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - to help with values-based action. Practical homework and skill practice are part of the process when they fit the plan. He offers motivational interviewing techniques and insight-oriented interventions to clear common roadblocks.
Progress is paced to the person’s needs and reviewed regularly. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. The tone is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at people who want concrete steps and steady support while they work through life’s challenges.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making practical changes that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses simple exercises to change them; it often includes tasks to practice between sessions and is helpful for depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is used for processing traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation; it can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roc will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. The plan is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, while phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can fit busy schedules or provide ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and practice skills in day-to-day life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
