Betty "Denise" Pope, LCSW, CSW

Betty "Denise" Pope is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma and abuse. Denise works with concerns like low self-esteem, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with guilt, isolation, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues.

Her style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear dialogue so clients can see what to try between meetings.

Denise uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy to shape treatment. The conversation and plan are tailored to each person's situation and goals.

Over a long career she has worked with many kinds of problems, including relationship strain, parenting stress, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. That range helps her match methods to whatever someone brings in.

She is licensed in Georgia as an LCSW and also lists CSW. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to availability.

How her approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Denise will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help choose or combine methods that fit those needs. The plan is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to receive care from a Georgia-licensed clinician even if you are in another place, subject to licensing and scheduling constraints.
