Thomas Potter

Thomas Potter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma with two decades of clinical experience. He has worked across community mental health, hospice, and veteran-focused settings. His practice centers on addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, depression, and coping with life changes, along with areas including grief, relationship strain, self esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

His approach combines client-centered therapy with evidence-informed techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Thomas emphasizes collaborative work in which the person seeking support defines priorities and identifies goals, and he uses strength-based, here-and-now methods to support movement toward those goals.

Thomas also attends to additional areas such as aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, cancer and hospice-related concerns, codependency, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and veteran and armed forces issues. He is prepared to assist people navigating midlife transitions, role changes, and questions about life purpose while remaining attentive to boundaries between therapist and client needs.
