About Roc

Roc Kauffman trained for a second career in mental health after a long tenure in the home services and antique furniture repair trade, and he has now practiced as a licensed mental health counselor for 21 years.

Background and approach

He holds MA LMHC LMHC5655 and VT LCMHC 068.0119006 credentials, and his clinical work grew from hands-on attention to detail into focused, person-centered therapy. Roc emphasizes attentive listening and builds on clients' existing strengths as the foundation for change.

Roc brings a practical, strengths-based orientation to concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, ADHD, self-esteem challenges, relationship and family issues, career questions, anger, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related matters. His methods draw on a range of evidence-informed tools including Internal Family Systems, ACT, CBT, EMDR, and client-centered strategies.

In collaboration with each client he clarifies goals, experiments with mindfulness and behavioral practices, and adapts techniques to fit individual preferences and capacities. Roc accepts international clients and practices from Vermont, offering a steady, supportive presence for people ready to engage in change.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Roc integrates Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered work to tailor online treatment to each person's needs. Internal Family Systems is an approach that helps people notice and relate to different inner parts with curiosity and compassion, useful for processing trauma, inner conflict, and complex emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and developing mindful, committed actions to manage distress and pursue a meaningful life, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Roc collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He adapts techniques from several modalities, experiments with mindfulness and behavioral practices, and refines the plan as progress unfolds so clients remain active partners in shaping treatment.

Online therapy with Roc is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow scheduling that fits work and family demands, enable continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and make it easier to engage in short check-ins or ongoing sessions without geographic constraints. Licensed professionals can use these tools to support sustained progress and practical skill-building in daily life.
