About Bethany

Bethany Kulp brings two decades of clinical social work experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, grief, addictions, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, parenting concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She helps clients address a wide range of related issues including attachment struggles, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose questions, midlife transitions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and panic attacks.

Her approach blends cognitive work with mindfulness and somatic-informed techniques to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts, develop practical coping skills, and access bodily resources that support regulation. Bethany describes her style as collaborative, compassionate, empowering, and goal-directed; she listens with empathy while also offering teaching, gentle challenge, and encouragement to help clients reach their own insights.

Bethany uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Based in Texas, she holds the LCSW credential and has worked in behavioral health for over 20 years.

Prospective clients who are comfortable working in English can expect a practical, supportive partnership aimed at helping them make meaningful changes.

How targeted approaches translate to online therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and panic; sessions often focus on concrete strategies and homework to practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help individuals manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance practices that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and chronic worry.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit therapy into daily life. These options allow flexibility in scheduling, make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy, and support different communication preferences so clients can engage in the way that works best for them.
