About Betty

Betty "Denise" Pope is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and eating or sleeping problems. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, anger, and major life changes.

Her style is warm and interactive. She talks with clients respectfully and without labels. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Denise uses several approaches to fit each person. She draws on Narrative Therapy to look at personal stories, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Motivational Interviewing when they suit a person's goals.

Her work often centers on helping people make small, steady changes. Conversations are tailored to the individual's needs and paced so they can try new strategies in daily life. She emphasizes realistic goals and building skills that help with relationships and day-to-day functioning.

Based in Georgia, Denise brings decades of practice to each session. Her aim is practical support that helps people move forward with more confidence and clearer direction.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Betty directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How Narrative and Skill-Based Approaches Work Online

Betty "Denise" Pope uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and to open up new ways of understanding difficult events. This approach can be useful for trauma, shame, isolation, and life transitions because it separates the person from the problem and highlights strengths.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most and take actions that match those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or sleep and eating problems.

Choosing an approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. That collaborative process helps shape a treatment plan that mixes narrative work, ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or motivational interviewing as needed.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
