About Bethany

Bethany Kulp is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, parenting challenges, and related concerns. She brings two decades of experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach. Bethany focuses on helping people build coping skills, rethink unhelpful thoughts, and find manageable ways to move forward.

She combines listening with teaching and gentle challenge to help parents and individuals make real changes. In sessions she uses cognitive tools to spot patterns in thinking and behavior.

Background and approach

She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with emotional regulation and grounding. Bethany has used somatic methods since 2015 to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and to release tension in practical ways. Her style is collaborative and goal-focused.

She asks questions, offers exercises, and helps clients try new skills between sessions. Many people appreciate the mix of emotional support and concrete strategies that they can use right away. Bethany holds an LCSW, Texas license number TX LCSW 58242, and has provided behavioral health services in Texas for more than 20 years.

She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, burnout, addiction, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes training in somatic approaches and mindfulness-based work. Sessions include a balance of talk, skill practice, and body-based awareness when helpful.

Bethany aims to help people reduce suffering, increase coping, and find clearer next steps for family and life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Bethany commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and emotional regulation.

She approaches treatment collaboratively. Together the therapist and client talk about goals, try one or two methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Finding the right mix of techniques is treated as a shared process rather than a fixed choice.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. These options make it easier to follow through on regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and check in when life is busy. The format can be flexible to match personal needs while keeping a steady focus on practical coping, parenting concerns, and daily life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
