About David
David Potts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, ADHD, and major life changes.
He sees individuals, teens, young adults, and adults and has a long history of work with family dynamics. Much of his career has been spent in outpatient and residential settings. He has supported people facing persistent mental health challenges including bipolar disorder and substance use issues, and has worked with teens with histories of abandonment, loss, and trauma.
David uses practical talk therapy and evidence-informed methods to help people identify what is getting in the way of daily functioning. He draws from cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, existential thinking, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on finding patterns, managing symptoms, and building skills that fit day-to-day life.
His style is straightforward and engaged. He looks for root causes where they matter and works on small, manageable changes that add up over time. He often combines short-term skills work with questions about values and meaning when that helps people move forward.
David has been providing therapy both locally and internationally for several years. He offers sessions in English and uses a subscription model for payment that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
David often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT-style skills are useful for intense emotions, anger, relationship conflict, and impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. The plan can combine skills training, deeper conversations about meaning, and short-term problem solving based on what the client needs.
Confirm the available session formats before booking. The main practical benefit of working with him online is fitting therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, school, caregiving, or travel. Online work also makes it easier to have more frequent brief check-ins when needed and to use exercises and worksheets between sessions. He helps clients pick a rhythm and format that suits their daily routine rather than forcing a single model.
