Christina Kulp, LCSW

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than two decades of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. Christina draws on practical tools to help clients manage symptoms and make concrete changes.

She trained at Marywood University for her master's in social work after earning undergraduate degrees in psychology and sociology from Cedar Crest College. 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.

Christina uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common part of her work, along with mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on building understanding, improving coping, and trying small, useful changes.

Her style emphasizes trust, empathy, and respect. She starts from strengths and pays attention to how past experiences and current patterns affect daily life. The aim is to help people feel more in control and clearer about next steps.

Christina offers sessions to clients in Pennsylvania and communicates in English. She provides several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and preferences.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Christina frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy is another approach she offers; it teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress and chronic pain.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and strengthen motivation for change. Decisions about which approaches to use are collaborative; the therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then tailor the methods over time.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video lets people see facial cues and work through skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are good for shorter check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options give flexibility so work and care responsibilities can fit therapy more easily.
