About Betty

Betty "Denise" Pope is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW, CSW) based in Georgia with 25 years of psychotherapy experience.

Background and approach

She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, grief, eating and sleeping challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues.

Her counseling style is described as warm and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion rather than stigmatizing labels. She draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and solution-focused techniques to craft individualized treatment plans.

Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals, with a focus on practical skills, values-driven change, and collaborative problem solving. Pope encourages those who are ready to take steps toward change and recovery to reach out; she aims to support and empower clients as they navigate life transitions and heal from difficult experiences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Betty "Denise" Pope uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as central tools in her online work. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. ACT emphasizes living in line with personal values while developing acceptance of difficult thoughts and emotions, a helpful approach for coping with trauma, chronic worry, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and will be determined collaboratively. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, try strategies that match their needs, and adjust techniques over time so the plan fits preferences and progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow clients to continue therapeutic work through busy or changing routines.
