Christina Kulp

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a long history helping people navigate grief, stress, and major life changes. She focuses on practical support for anxiety, depression, caregiving strain, and issues that arise near the end of life. Christina aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk and begin to heal.

She trained at Marywood University for her master's in social work and completed undergraduate degrees in psychology and sociology at Cedar Crest College. Christina also holds post-graduate certificates in gerontology and palliative and end of life care, and she is pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined Kutztown and Millersville program.

Her work draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative methods, and psychodynamic ideas. She adapts techniques to each person, using strengths people already have and focusing on realistic steps forward. Trauma-informed care is a thread through her practice.

Christina has worked across geriatric, nonprofit, and healthcare settings for more than two decades. That background informs how she supports people with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and hospice or end-of-life concerns. She also addresses relationship strain, parenting challenges, identity and gender questions, and occupational stress.

Sessions aim to help clarify goals, improve coping, and rebuild confidence. Christina prefers to partner with clients so they shape the pace and focus of the work. People who want practical guidance alongside emotional support often find this approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and connection

Christina often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is helpful for worry, sleeping problems, and day-to-day coping challenges.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can support stress reduction, grief work, and handling strong emotions more calmly.

Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people clarify goals and find internal motivation for change, which can be useful when facing major life transitions or caregiving decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina collaborates with clients to choose or adapt methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Session logistics and formats are not listed here, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue conversations about grief, caregiving, and life changes from wherever you are, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions for the best fit.
