Christina Kulp , LCSW

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and questions tied to identity and life transitions. She works with people dealing with trauma, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and concerns common in LGBT communities. Christina practices from Pennsylvania and communicates in English.

She offers straightforward, practical support that starts with listening. Christina aims to build trust and respect so clients can talk through what matters most to them. Sessions focus on strengths and small changes that can improve day-to-day coping and mood.

Christina blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness tools are used to reduce stress and improve focus. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, and narrative and psychodynamic ideas are woven in to make sense of patterns and personal history.

Her background includes work in geriatric care, nonprofits, and healthcare settings, plus post-graduate study in gerontology and palliative and end-of-life care. Christina is also pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined Kutztown and Millersville program.

People who choose her can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach and practical strategies for managing symptoms. She aims to help clients gain clearer perspective, better coping skills, and renewed direction in life.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying small experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus, useful for coping with overwhelm and compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative process helps make sure the work fits the person's life and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a fuller conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still using evidence-informed techniques.
