About Roc
Roc Kauffman trained for counseling after a long career in the home services and antique furniture repair business, bringing a practical, hands-on sensibility to clinical work.
Background and approach
Roc holds an MA and practices as an LMHC and LCMHC, and for over two decades he has worked with people to address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, mood concerns including bipolar and depression, addictions, ADHD, and many life transitions.
His background emphasizes attentive listening and a strengths-based perspective that builds from what clients already do well. Roc centers the therapeutic relationship as the starting point, collaborating with each client to shape goals and a clear path forward.
He uses a mix of evidence-informed techniques including cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, EMDR, internal family systems work, and client-centered coaching elements. Sessions commonly include practical assignments and experiments to try between meetings, helping clients increase resilience and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily living.
Available to clients in Vermont and to international clients, Roc frames therapy as a team effort aimed at restoring functionality, easing distress, and expanding coping options through persistent, tailored work.
Therapeutic approaches and online care for flexible healing
Roc commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in his clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then teaching practical skills and exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. EMDR uses structured bilateral processing to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often helpful when past events continue to cause symptoms.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative exploration. Roc works with each client to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan as progress is observed so the work stays aligned with the client's needs and values.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions around work and life commitments, allow for timely check-ins between meetings, and support continuity of care for people who live outside Vermont or travel frequently. Licensed professionals can use these formats to apply CBT exercises, guide EMDR-informed processing adaptations, and maintain a consistent therapeutic alliance across distance.
