About Dale
Dale Potter is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. He uses a client-centered way of working that focuses on listening, respect, and partnering with each person to find what helps them most.
He brings 18 years of experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addiction. He also helps with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, grief, intimacy issues, and concerns linked to LGBTQ identity. He approaches each session without judgment and adapts to the needs of the individual.
Dale often blends mindfulness and solution-focused ideas into sessions. That can look like short, practical steps for change combined with techniques to notice thoughts and calm the body. He aims to keep things simple and practical so people can use what they learn between sessions.
He has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent, including those on the autism spectrum and those with learning differences. He also addresses life transitions, career worries, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and purpose.
Sessions are shaped around what the person brings and what they hope to achieve. Dale describes the work as collaborative - he listens, offers perspectives, and helps set small goals. Taking that first step can feel hard, and he aims to make it easier to get started.
How client-centered and mindfulness approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. The therapist offers a nonjudgmental space and reflects what matters most to the client, helping them clarify goals and feel understood.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and stress. It can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and grounding after difficult experiences. Solution-focused therapy targets small, practical steps and immediate goals to create change that can be tracked session to session.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which mix of client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused steps fits their needs and preferences. This is decided together and can shift over time as goals change.
