About Christina

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings a strengths-based perspective and a trauma-informed lens to her work, combining practical techniques with empathic support to help clients develop clearer understanding and more effective coping skills. Her clinical background includes practice in geriatric, nonprofit, and healthcare settings, along with postgraduate certificates in Gerontology and Palliative/End of Life Care.

Christina earned her graduate degree in social work from Marywood University and completed undergraduate studies in psychology and sociology at Cedar Crest College. She is also pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined program at Kutztown and Millersville Universities.

Christina integrates a range of therapeutic approaches, frequently using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, and psychodynamic techniques. She emphasizes collaboration, respectful listening, and individualized plans so each person can take practical steps toward the changes they want to make.

Approaches and Online Support Tailored to You

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and coping techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she draws on to support clients who are exploring change or working through ambivalence about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina emphasizes collaboration when deciding which methods to use. She works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, then blends strategies so treatment feels practical and personally relevant.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into busy lives while working with a licensed professional.
