About Roc

Roc Kauffman is a licensed mental health counselor with more than two decades of clinical experience. He practices as Roc though his legal name appears as Robert Kauffman on his license. He lives and works from Vermont and brings a pragmatic, down-to-earth approach to sessions.

He began his career in the home services and antique furniture repair business while attending graduate school. Listening and careful attention were core skills then, and they remain central to his work now.

Background and approach

Over the past 21 years he has focused on people's psychological needs rather than property needs. Roc emphasizes a client-centered, strengths-based style. He starts by noticing what already works in a person's life and builds goals from those strengths.

Early sessions focus on creating a working relationship and learning how each person prefers to give and receive feedback. He uses practical tools like cognitive behavioral exercises, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and phase-oriented methods for trauma and grief. EMDR is one of the approaches he lists among his methods.

Sessions often include short at-home practices or written assignments to keep progress moving between meetings. Roc has long experience helping people cope with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD, relationship and career concerns. He works with a wide range of cultural backgrounds and ages and aims to match techniques to each person’s needs and pace.

His style is collaborative and straightforward. He invites people to set clear goals and to experiment with approaches until they find what helps them make steady progress.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take action toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is listed among his approaches and is used to process traumatic memories through structured protocols and bilateral stimulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear skill-building and homework exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Roc works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and pacing. He often blends techniques and adjusts strategies as someone learns what helps most.

Online therapy here can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Live chat or text messaging offers quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or short updates between longer sessions. Those options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
