Bethany Kulp , LCSW

Bethany Kulp, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings more than 20 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She focuses on empowering individuals by offering emotional support, helping them build coping skills, and guiding them to examine and shift the unhelpful beliefs and thoughts that fuel suffering. Her approach weaves together mindfulness and cognitive methods with body-centered somatic techniques to help clients access their own capacity for healing.

She practices in a collaborative, compassionate, and goal-directed manner, combining empathic listening with gentle teaching, thoughtful challenge, and motivation to help clients arrive at their own insights. Bethany is a Somatic Experiencing(R) Practitioner and has integrated somatic work into her practice since 2015. She is also trained in Integral Somatic Psychology, allowing her to blend mind-focused strategies with an awareness of how the body holds experience.

Clients looking for practical skills, increased self-awareness, and lasting change will find a therapist who aims to inspire resilience and support growth across issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Bethany works with each person to identify achievable goals and develop tools that fit their daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Bethany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness; it is useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and improving coping under pressure. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, supporting reductions in reactivity and improvements in focus and self-compassion.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Bethany works with each person to explore their concerns, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques from these approaches so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Bethany can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and integrate therapeutic tools into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt their methods to remote formats.
