Bethany Kulp , LCSW

Bethany Kulp brings two decades of behavioral health experience to her work with people facing anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She emphasizes a collaborative, goal-oriented style that blends emotional support with practical skills - helping individuals gain insight, learn coping strategies, and challenge unhelpful beliefs and thoughts that contribute to suffering. Bethany combines mindfulness and cognitive approaches with body-centered methods to address both mental and physical responses to stress and trauma. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, she uses techniques that help clients notice and regulate sensations in the body as a route to healing. She has integrated these somatic skills into her practice since 2015 and is also trained in Integral Somatic Psychology, which complements talk-based methods with attention to bodily experience.

Bethany holds an LCSW, which means she is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker qualified to provide clinical mental health services. Her counseling style is described as compassionate, empowering, and attentive - she listens deeply, teaches skills, offers gentle challenge, and supports clients as they reach their own conclusions and make lasting changes. Whether addressing grief, addiction, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, or issues related to identity and relationships, she aims to help people build resilience, increase self-understanding, and move toward more satisfying daily living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Bethany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as central elements of her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress and mood difficulties - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills for staying present with thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations without judgment - this approach can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when clients need skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers concrete techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and communication that support stability during difficult times.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Bethany works with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to find what is most effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life. These options help connect people with licensed professionals from different settings and can support continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
