About Bethany

Bethany Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction. She also supports those facing grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach mixes practical skills with body-focused work and mindfulness. She teaches coping strategies, helps people notice thoughts that make things harder, and introduces exercises to calm the nervous system. Sessions are collaborative and focused on clear goals rather than vague talking alone.

Bethany uses cognitive techniques to spot and change thinking patterns that sustain worry or shame. She adds mindfulness to help people sit with difficult feelings without being overwhelmed. She also incorporates somatic methods to address bodily reactions that often accompany trauma and long-term stress.

In sessions she explains tools, practices them together, and adjusts them to daily life. She encourages small, manageable steps so changes fit into a busy schedule. People leave with concrete strategies to try between meetings rather than only talking about problems.

Her work spans a wide set of concerns including attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, midlife transitions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and panic attacks. Bethany aims to help people build steadier responses to hard moments and clearer personal boundaries.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Bethany often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of thinking and acting. It can help with anxiety, depression, and repetitive thought patterns.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice sensations, thoughts, and emotions without immediately reacting. Mindfulness skills can reduce reactivity to stress and improve sleep and concentration.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it fits, and adjusting as needed rather than committing to one way from the start.

Confirm current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow use of worksheets, in-session coaching on skills, and guided mindfulness or body-based exercises that carry over into everyday routines.
