About Bethany
Bethany Kulp is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and codependency. She focuses on practical skills that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Her approach aims to help people build better sleep, cope with loss, address addiction concerns, and find steadiness through life changes.
Bethany works in a collaborative and goal-directed way. She listens with empathy and offers straightforward tools for thought patterns and behaviors that cause trouble. Sessions include teaching, gentle challenge, and support so people can reach their own conclusions about change.
Her work combines cognitive methods and mindfulness with somatic practices that pay attention to bodily experience. These tools are applied to issues like attachment struggles, body image concerns, chronic illness and pain, and compassion fatigue. The focus is on practical steps that can be used between sessions.
Over two decades in behavioral health, Bethany has supported people coping with panic, obsessive thoughts, grief, and career stress. She integrates somatic techniques learned through Somatic Experiencing and Integral Somatic Psychology into her practice to broaden how people access healing.
Clients can expect a grounded, compassionate presence and a mix of skill-building and reflective work. The goal is steady, lasting progress rather than quick fixes. Bethany aims to help people move from surviving to making intentional choices in their lives.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Bethany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as core tools. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lower reactivity and help with stress and sleep.She also draws on elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when needed, teaching emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills useful for intense feelings and panic. Each method is described in plain terms and aimed at real-life application rather than abstract theory.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bethany will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tools over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can guide pacing and homework so therapy fits into regular routines without creating extra burden.
