Katherine Potts, LMSW, LCSW

Katherine Potts is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Michigan. She has about 10 years of experience and lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and addictions among the issues she works with.

Katherine draws on straightforward, skills-based methods. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and impulsive behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone is unsure about change or needs help finding motivation.

She has experience supporting people who struggle with body image, codependency, commitment and intimacy issues, and problems that come from family of origin dynamics. She also works with people facing grief, fertility stress, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. The biography notes experience with substance use and with adults who grew up in alcoholic families.

Katherine explains therapy in plain terms and offers practical skills to use between sessions. She has co-facilitated a DBT group and often teaches DBT strategies in one-on-one work. That can mean learning grounding methods, emotion regulation steps, and ways to change repetitive behavior patterns.

People looking for help with relationship patterns, parenting stress, or steadying mood swings will find a direct, skills-focused style. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the listed steps to match and schedule an initial appointment.
