About Betty
Betty "Denise" Pope is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and the aftereffects of trauma. Parents and professionals turn to her for support with sleep and eating struggles, anger, and career stress.
She also works with concerns like ADHD, grief, shame, and isolation. Her style is warm and interactive. She speaks plainly and listens carefully before suggesting a plan.
How Betty works
Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and on learning skills that fit everyday life. Denise draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. She blends these methods to match what each person needs rather than relying on a single technique.
Clients can expect calm, respectful conversation that centers their goals. Denise avoids stigmatizing labels and looks for strengths to build on. She pays attention to how problems affect daily routines and relationships, then works with clients to set realistic, manageable changes.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Georgia and two social work credentials: Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and Clinical Social Worker, CSW. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients when scheduling allows.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people who feel stuck by turning attention to meaningful steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as life circumstances change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and make consistent work possible from a distance.
