About Dale
Dale Potter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. He brings 18 years of clinical experience and a calm, open approach to conversations about stress and anxiety. Dale focuses on helping people who are coping with anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes.
He also supports those navigating LGBTQ concerns, ADHD and other neurodivergent experiences, grief, and issues around intimacy and relationships. His work often includes people dealing with compulsive behaviors, mood challenges, and career or parenting strain.
Background and approach
In sessions he adapts to each person’s needs. He uses client-centered listening so people feel heard, mindfulness skills to ease overwhelming thoughts, and solution-focused tools to set small, manageable goals. When past hurts are central, he brings trauma-informed methods to the conversation.
Dale aims to create a respectful and sensitive space. He tailors the pace and plan to what each person prefers, mixing practical steps with reflective work. He also pays attention to communication differences and developmental needs when relevant.
People who start therapy with him typically work on clearer coping strategies, better daily routines for sleep and mood, and stronger ways to handle stress. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients as they try new approaches and track progress.
Approach and online care that fits your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you notice strengths and values. This is useful when you want a supportive space to talk through anxiety, identity questions, or life transitions.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity. These tools help with racing thoughts, stress, and sleep problems by training awareness of the present moment. Solution-focused work looks for small, practical steps you can try between sessions to build momentum and confidence.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will meet you where you are, discuss goals and preferences, and adjust methods as you progress. That way the work stays relevant and you get to weigh what helps most.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations; phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging let you send short updates or keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
