About Roc Kauffman
Licensed on official records as Robert Kauffman, he prefers the name Roc and brings a distinctive background to his counseling work. He transitioned into mental health care after a lengthy career in the home services field, even running an antique furniture repair studio while attending graduate school and completing internships. That practical history informs a style grounded in attentive listening and hands-on problem solving, skills he has carried into his therapeutic practice.
For nearly the past twenty years Roc has worked directly with people to address psychological needs rather than property concerns. He is licensed to practice in Massachusetts and Vermont and holds the credentials LMHC and LCMHC - standing for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in plain terms. His work emphasizes a client-centered, strengths-based approach that begins by recognizing the abilities and resiliency clients have already demonstrated.
Roc prioritizes forming a strong therapeutic alliance, taking time to learn each person’s learning, teaching, and communication styles. Together with clients he sets collaborative goals and outlines practical methods to pursue them. His toolkit includes cognitive-behavioral assignments to keep clients engaged, insight work and cognitive interweaves, and motivational interviewing to clarify direction. He also integrates mindfulness practices, inviting experimentation with different techniques until a good fit is found. With persistence and support he aims to expand clients’ capacity to overcome obstacles.
His clinical experience spans adolescents through older adults and reflects a wide cultural range. He has substantial experience working with trauma, grief, and loss using phase-oriented approaches. Roc recognizes that early adversity can manifest in many psychological symptoms - including anxiety, depression, attachment disorders, personality disorders, mood disorders, substance use disorders, somatic disorders, or even psychotic presentations - and focuses on treating underlying issues so those symptoms can diminish. He looks forward to supporting people as they work toward greater well-being.
