Christina Kulp, LCSW

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and other life changes. Christina draws on a strengths-based approach and aims to create an empathetic, respectful space for people to begin making changes.

She trained at Marywood University for her graduate social work degree and completed undergraduate studies at Cedar Crest College in psychology and sociology. Christina has worked across geriatric, nonprofit, and healthcare 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 at Kutztown and Millersville Universities.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That may include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative methods, and psychodynamic ideas. She frames work through a trauma-informed lens and builds from the client’s existing strengths.

Christina has experience offering individual, couples, family, and group counseling in prior roles. Her style emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and attention to how life context affects feelings and behavior. She invites people who are ready to explore change to take a first step toward clearer goals and better coping.

Her background includes care for aging adults, cancer and hospice-related concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and issues around identity and sexuality. Christina aims to support clients in finding meaning, connection, and manageable steps forward.

Approaches that fit online care and life challenges

Christina often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with chronic illness.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, which brings attention to the present moment through simple practices. Mindfulness can ease stress, improve focus, and reduce reactivity during medical or caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up.

Confirm available online session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about timing, session length, and practical needs so therapy fits into daily life without adding burden.
