About Roc
Roc Kauffman is a licensed mental health counselor with more than two decades of experience. He trained while working in a hands-on trade and later moved into full-time counseling. Roc emphasizes listening first and building a clear plan with each person who reaches out.
Roc takes a client-centered, strengths-based view. He starts by identifying what a person already does well and then uses those abilities to shape goals. Work in sessions often focuses on practical steps and short assignments to keep momentum between meetings.
His toolbox includes cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and other methods chosen collaboratively. Roc also uses phase-oriented approaches for people processing trauma, grief, or loss. He aims to find exercises and strategies that fit each person’s daily life.
Roc has worked with a wide age range and many life situations. He notes common issues he helps with include anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, ADHD, addictions, relationship strain, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Outcomes are approached as gradual changes made by steady practice and support.
Roc is credentialed as an MA LMHC and holds a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC. He practices from Vermont and offers services in English. To begin, he asks people to complete a short questionnaire and then set up sessions that match their needs.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means listening carefully, following your lead, and shaping sessions around your priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a flexible, respectful space to talk through problems and set practical goals.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to act toward values-based goals. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those choices as progress is made.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try mindfulness and CBT homework in their everyday routines so therapy connects directly to daily life.
