Christina Kulp, LCSW

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience who helps people facing major life shifts and midlife concerns. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and changes in identity or purpose. Christina draws on clear, practical methods to help clients find better ways to cope and move forward.

Christina trained at Marywood University for her Master of Social Work and completed undergraduate studies at Cedar Crest College in psychology and sociology. She has worked in healthcare, nonprofit, and geriatric settings and holds post-graduate certificates in gerontology and palliative and end-of-life care. She is also pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined program with Kutztown and Millersville Universities.

In sessions she builds a straightforward, respectful relationship based on trust and empathy. She starts from strengths clients already have and uses techniques matched to each person’s needs. Christina commonly draws on cognitive behavioral methods and psychodynamic ideas, and she also uses mindfulness and narrative strategies to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors.

Her approach is trauma informed and practical. Sessions may focus on managing symptoms, improving communication, processing loss, or clarifying life purpose. Christina encourages collaborative goal-setting so people leave with concrete steps and clearer options.

She practices in Pennsylvania and works in English. Prospective clients who want to begin can follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Christina frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and focuses on testing small behavioral changes. Mindfulness work helps people notice stress reactions and gain breathing or attention tools they can use during hard moments.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and narrative therapy to help people rewrite how they tell their life story. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change, using guided questions to clarify values and next steps. Narrative work lets a person put difficult experiences into perspective and try out new meanings for their life chapters.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and personal preferences rather than applying one method to everyone. Treatment plans evolve as progress and preferences become clearer.
