About Christina
Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting, relationship strain, and life changes. Christina also addresses issues related to trauma, intimacy, ADHD, caregiving stress, and aging.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Marywood University and undergraduate study at Cedar Crest College in psychology and sociology. She has experience across geriatric, nonprofit, and healthcare settings and holds post-graduate certificates in gerontology and palliative/end of life care. She is pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined program at Kutztown and Millersville Universities.
Christina uses a mix of practical methods to help people manage symptoms and daily problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and narrative techniques to reframe difficult experiences.
Sessions aim to build on a person’s strengths and improve coping. Christina discusses options like mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those approaches fit someone’s goals. She works through difficulties step by step and pays attention to trauma when it’s relevant.
People who choose her often want help with caregiving stress, end-of-life concerns, chronic illness, or relationship and parenting pressures. Her long clinical history includes work with adults facing complex medical and life-stage challenges.
How sessions work
How Christina’s methods translate to online sessions
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related issues. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce immediate reactivity and support better coping. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she draws on when people want to make changes but feel stuck. That method focuses on clarifying personal goals and strengthening the motivation to act. Together these approaches give practical tools for daily life and concrete steps to try between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with a person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and current situation. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps and what doesn't. The practical advantage of online work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking to know exactly which formats are offered. Many people find virtual sessions make it easier to attend during work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can support steady work on parenting stress, caregiving demands, grief, and the kinds of relationship and life-change concerns she addresses.Areas of focus
