About Betty
Betty "Denise" Pope is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, addiction, and trauma. Her style is warm and interactive and she treats each person with sensitivity and respect.
Denise keeps conversations straightforward. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals, and she works alongside clients to find what makes sense for them.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and solution-focused strategies. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, building coping skills, strengthening values-based choices, and mapping small steps forward. Denise has supported people through grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep and eating issues, and work-related burnout.
She also addresses guilt and shame, isolation, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. The focus is on manageable change rather than labels. Clients can expect clear goals, skill-building, and compassionate listening.
Denise offers a collaborative process that balances practical tools with emotional support. She is based in Georgia and works with adults in English.

Therapeutic tools and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking steps that fit those values, even when difficult feelings are present. It can help with parenting stress, anxiety, and big life changes by guiding practical choices that match personal priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and then teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and developing coping techniques.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for anger, relationship strain, and emotional regulation challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and new issues arise.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options help people fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, and daily life.
