Dale Potter

Dale Potter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 18 years of clinical work. He approaches therapy with a flexible, creative mindset and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Dale helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and trauma. He also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and issues tied to sexual orientation and identity. Neurodivergent concerns such as ADHD and autism spectrum issues are part of his practice focus as well.

In sessions he draws on Client-Centered, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused approaches. That means conversations aim to be respectful, grounded, and directed toward realistic goals. He adjusts the pace and style of work to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single method.

Dale often blends creative, outside-the-box ideas with straightforward tools. He will work with you to shape a simple plan you can try between sessions. People who want clear steps and compassionate listening tend to find that approach useful.

Beginning therapy can feel hard, and Dale emphasizes a calm, patient process. He supports people through change and helps them find ways to feel more steady, connected, and in control of everyday challenges.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own goals and perspective. Online sessions that use this approach focus on active listening and tailoring questions so each person feels heard and understood. This helps when dealing with stress, relationship concerns, or self-esteem issues.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind. In virtual sessions these techniques are taught and practiced in-session and then used between meetings to manage anxiety, anger, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and adjustments are encouraged.

Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full office visit is impractical. It also makes regular practice of mindfulness and solution-focused homework easier to keep up with between sessions.
