About Mitzi

Mitzi Pope is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical experience. She offers online therapy to adults across Oklahoma and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and work-related strain. Her approach is direct and down-to-earth, using practical tools and a warm tone to help clients move forward.

She works with front line workers and other adults facing overwhelm and life transitions. Sessions blend talking, skill-building, and brief exercises that are easy to use between meetings. Humor and compassion are part of the process, alongside straightforward strategies that target immediate concerns.

Mitzi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She incorporates methods that address traumatic memories, unhelpful thinking patterns, and strengths people already have. The goal is to reduce symptoms and increase coping skills in day-to-day life.

Her practice pays special attention to workplace issues, compassion fatigue, and the challenges young adults face as they navigate new responsibilities. She also supports people dealing with somatic symptoms, self-worth issues, and women’s health concerns.

Communication is prompt; she checks messages multiple times a day and posts available times Monday through Thursday. To start, prospective clients follow the platform’s Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Mitzi uses well-established techniques to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; it helps with anxiety, low mood, and workplace stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing targets distressing memories and the reactions tied to them, helping people who have trauma-related symptoms. Mindfulness-based methods teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and calm the nervous system.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily demands, then suggest approaches to try together. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works for the individual.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are listed by the therapist on the platform. Online work makes it easier to fit therapy around a job, an errand-filled day, or geographic limits, and can reduce travel time. Some formats are also useful when a shorter check-in is needed or when a session that doesn't require video would be easier to schedule.
