Christina Kulp, LCSW

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She works with clients concerned about relationships, caregiving, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness, and questions about identity and purpose. Her style aims to be supportive and practical for people looking for clearer next steps.

Christina draws on more than two decades of experience in healthcare, nonprofit, and geriatric settings. She completed graduate social work studies at Marywood University and undergraduate work at Cedar Crest College with majors in psychology and sociology. She also holds post-graduate certificates in gerontology and palliative and end-of-life care and is pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined Kutztown and Millersville University program.

In sessions she uses a strengths-based approach and focuses on building trust, empathy, and respect. Christina tailors methods to each person, often blending cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work depending on the issue.

She works from a trauma-informed perspective and aims to help people develop coping skills, increase insight, and find practical steps forward. Christina has provided individual, couples, family, and group counseling across settings and brings that variety into how she supports clients.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and realistic goals. People seeking help with caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, loneliness, or life purpose often find her background relevant. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.

She also frequently uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck; this approach focuses on strengths and finding personal reasons to move forward. These methods are presented in plain, step-by-step ways and can be adapted to concerns like caregiver stress, sleep problems, chronic illness, or navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods make sense based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That collaboration includes checking in and adjusting techniques over time so therapy stays useful and practical.

Session logistics vary by therapist and platform, and the biography does not list specific formats. Before booking, confirm which session types are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity of care during life changes or when managing caregiving responsibilities.
