Bethany Kulp

Bethany Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship patterns tied to family of origin, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people facing addiction, sleep problems, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and career uncertainty.

Her approach blends cognitive methods with mindfulness and somatic work to address thoughts, feelings, and bodily reactions. Sessions focus on developing practical coping skills, testing unhelpful beliefs, and building routines that reduce distress. Bethany uses evidence-informed tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practices.

In conversation she keeps work direct and goal-focused. She listens, offers feedback, and introduces exercises people can use between visits. She aims to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and practice new ways of responding to stress and painful memories.

Her somatic methods are used to help people notice bodily responses to trauma and stress and to learn ways to calm or regulate those responses. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques guide short-term goal setting and help people identify manageable next steps when they feel uncertain about change.

Sessions are offered in English and follow professional standards for clinical social work in Texas. Bethany does not take international clients. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Bethany commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques when addressing problems like anxiety, depression, and life changes. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and then practicing different behaviors. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and sensations without immediately reacting, which can reduce stress and improve sleep.

She also draws on elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation and strong reactions are a concern. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for mood instability or relationship conflict.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what proves most useful in practice.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. These practical benefits can help people sustain regular sessions while they test new coping strategies and work toward clearer next steps.
