Ethan Potter, LCSW

Ethan Potter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with seven years of experience in the mental health field. As an LCSW he holds a clinical social work license that authorizes him to provide psychotherapy and treatment planning for a range of emotional and relational challenges. He has worked with people facing grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, career transitions, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and many other life changes.

Ethan’s style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He avoids stigmatizing labels and emphasizes dignity in every therapeutic interaction. Clinically he blends approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method. His practice draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing, and he tailors conversations and treatment plans to the unique goals and circumstances of each individual.

Those who work with Ethan can expect a collaborative process focused on practical strategies for coping, strengthening relationships, and navigating transitions such as adoption or foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, parenting and fatherhood issues, body image and self-esteem, and difficult life events like divorce or bereavement. While his experience spans many areas, he adapts interventions to align with a person’s values and preferences to support sustainable change.
