About Dale
Dale Potter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of clinical experience. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and a wide range of life changes, including concerns related to LGBT identity and neurodiversity. He also lists social anxiety and phobia among his focus areas.
Dale uses a mix of practical approaches rather than a single method. He draws on client-centered conversations to learn what matters most to each person. He adds mindfulness practices to help manage intense feelings and uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals.
Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and real-world skills. Dale aims to make therapy direct and manageable so people can try things between appointments. He commonly addresses sleep problems, anger, relationship concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and issues such as ADHD, OCD symptoms, and grief.
He also works with people navigating religious trauma, post-Christian spiritual exploration, and identity questions connected to being LGBT. His background includes supporting those with sensory or learning differences such as autism spectrum traits, dyslexia, and intellectual disability. The emphasis is on practical adjustments rather than labels.
Dale describes his approach as creative and flexible. Conversations are shaped around each person's goals and immediate needs. To begin, he asks questions that help pin down a first set of steps and then reviews progress as therapy continues.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dale commonly blends client-centered work and mindfulness practice in sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building from what the person says, which helps identify practical goals and next steps. Mindfulness therapy offers brief exercises and attention practices to reduce stress and lessen reactivity during daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time so sessions feel useful and manageable. That collaborative process helps choose whether to emphasize skills, reflection, or trauma-focused techniques.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you want to know which session formats are currently offered, confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other obligations and can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
