About Christina

Christina Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing sleep problems alongside stress, anxiety, and life changes. She brings calm and practical focus to sessions so clients can try small changes that add up. Christina speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are worried or exhausted.

She trained at Marywood University’s Graduate School of Social Work and completed undergraduate studies at Cedar Crest College. Christina has worked in geriatric, nonprofit, and healthcare settings for over 23 years. She also holds post-graduate certificates in gerontology and palliative and end of life care, and she is pursuing a doctorate in social work through a combined program at Kutztown and Millersville Universities.

Christina uses a mix of methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and psychodynamic ideas. She adapts techniques to each person’s situation and often frames treatment through a trauma-informed lens. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, shifting patterns, and understanding difficult feelings.

Her background includes work with caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, grief and hospice issues, and challenges tied to aging. Christina also supports people coping with relationship strain, intimacy issues, ADHD, depression, bipolar concerns, and career or life-purpose questions.

Her style emphasizes trust, respect, and building on strengths. She encourages achievable steps toward better sleep, clearer routines, and steadier mood. Those ready to begin are invited to use the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Christina often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness as core tools. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioral changes to improve sleep and mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce racing thoughts and support steadier sleep patterns.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters most and build motivation for change. That method is conversational and works well when someone feels stuck about trying new sleep routines or coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. She tailors techniques over time so interventions feel useful and realistic for daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or rest between activities. These practical benefits often help people consistently try new sleep strategies and keep momentum between appointments.
