David Potts

David Potts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. He also supports people facing grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. He communicates in clear, direct language and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.

He works with individuals and young people across a wide age range and has long experience in outpatient and residential settings. That background includes supporting teens who have experienced abandonment, loss, and various forms of trauma, as well as adults managing persistent mental health challenges and substance use concerns.

His counseling style is open and engaged, with an emphasis on commitment and compassion. He combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential approaches, and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor care to each person. He looks for root causes and small changes that can ease daily life rather than aiming for perfection.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with David helping clients identify concrete steps between meetings. He encourages steady progress and practical coping tools for sleep, mood, and stress. He aims to help people regain a better day-to-day rhythm and clearer direction.

People who reach out should expect a straightforward and supportive approach that balances emotional understanding with real-world strategies. David invites clients to take the first step toward clearer routines, improved rest, and more manageable stress.
