About Christina

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She names relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career questions, and issues like ADHD and compassion fatigue among her areas of focus. Christina writes plainly and aims to offer steady support while people make changes in their daily lives.

She trained at Marywood University for her master of social work and completed undergraduate study at Cedar Crest College in psychology and sociology. Christina has worked in healthcare, nonprofit, and geriatric settings for more than two decades. She also holds post-graduate certificates in gerontology and palliative/end-of-life care and is pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined Kutztown and Millersville program.

In sessions she builds a relationship based on trust, empathy, and respect. She draws from a range of methods and focuses on individual strengths. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs rather than a fixed formula.

Her clinical work often uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside psychodynamic and narrative ideas. Christina describes her approach as trauma-informed and aims to help people understand patterns, practice coping skills, and make changes that fit their life.

She has experience across individual, couples, family, and group settings from prior roles. Christina practices in Pennsylvania and offers services in English.

How Christina's approaches translate to online work

Christina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new behaviors and ways of thinking to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce rumination and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that match those needs. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is useful in practice.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring that experience back into therapy for discussion.
