Christina Kulp, LCSW

Christina Kulp, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), holds licenses in North Carolina and Pennsylvania and has 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief and depression, life changes, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting and self-esteem, among other areas. She describes her approach as eclectic, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic and transformational ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing and narrative techniques. Christina emphasizes a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective and aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Christina earned her master of social work from Marywood University and completed undergraduate studies at Cedar Crest College with majors in psychology and sociology. She has worked in geriatric, nonprofit, and healthcare settings, and holds post-graduate certificates in gerontology and palliative/end-of-life care. She is pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined Kutztown and Millersville program.

In sessions she uses practical, evidence-informed methods. That can mean examining thoughts and behaviors with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, weaving life stories with narrative work, or noticing present-moment experience through mindfulness. She reports adapting methods to each client's needs while keeping a trauma-informed stance.

Christina has experience across individual, couples, family, and group formats from her prior work. She frames therapy around clients' strengths and goals and works on coping skills, gaining perspective, and problem solving.

She also lists specialized interests including aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, attachment issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, first responder issues, and questions around gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. Sessions are offered in English in Pennsylvania.
