About Christina

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience practicing in Pennsylvania. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with guilt and shame. Christina also supports those coping with life changes, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and issues related to gender and identity. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.

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

In practice she uses a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness are common tools she offers to address thinking patterns and manage anxiety or mood. She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at personal stories and relationship patterns. Motivational interviewing appears in work that involves change and goal-setting.

Christina describes her style as focused on building trust and working from a strengths-based perspective. She uses a trauma-informed lens when trauma or abuse is part of the picture. Her background includes individual, couples, family, and group counseling in clinical and community settings.

People often come to her with concerns like parenting strain, career stress, sleep problems, or feelings of isolation. She helps people talk through practical coping strategies, clarify values, and consider next steps that fit their life circumstances.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online work

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach brief practices that reduce rumination and ground attention during stressful moments. Narrative Therapy is used to reframe the stories people tell about themselves, which can be especially relevant for guilt, shame, and identity concerns.

Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. Christina will work with clients to clarify goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust based on what proves helpful. The early sessions often focus on practical coping steps and clarifying what clients want to work on next.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Christina’s mix of CBT, mindfulness, and narrative exercises can be adapted to these practical needs so therapy can fit into everyday life without requiring large time commitments.
