About Dale
Dale Potter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 18 years of experience. He focuses on common concerns adults bring around stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addiction, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and questions about intimacy. He also lists work with LGBT issues, sleeping difficulties, anger, and self-esteem among his areas of interest.
He describes an eclectic, creative style that blends different methods rather than following a single model. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical. Dale aims to help people find clearer ways to cope, make changes, and solve problems they face at home or work.
His approach draws on client-centered principles, which put the person's experience and goals at the center of sessions. He uses mindfulness techniques to help manage stress and stay grounded. Solution-focused methods are used when people want concrete steps and quick shifts in patterns.
For people who have experienced trauma, he incorporates trauma-focused elements to address difficult memories and reactions. He has particular experience supporting those navigating faith changes, religious trauma, and neurodivergent-related challenges such as autism spectrum and ADHD traits.
His work emphasizes straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and gradual change. He invites adults who are juggling family responsibilities, career pressures, or relationship strain to consider whether a few focused sessions could help them gain breathing room and clearer next steps.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding what matters to the person and shaping sessions around their goals. It helps people clarify priorities, talk through family stresses, and make sense of feelings without a preset agenda.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety. These techniques are often used for stress, sleeping problems, and to calm strong emotions between parenting or work demands.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps a person can try right away. It suits people who want concrete ideas for changing patterns at home or improving daily routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That decision is revisited as progress is made.
If you plan to try sessions online, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to travel. It can also let people practice techniques in the places they live and talk about household or parenting challenges as they arise.
