About Bethany
Bethany Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, problems with sleep, and issues around self-esteem and relationships. Her practice also includes support for addiction, grief, caregiving strain, and concerns related to identity and life transitions.
She uses straightforward methods to help people notice what keeps them stuck and learn new coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices are part of her approach. She also draws on body-centered methods to help people notice physical reactions tied to stress and trauma.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-directed. Bethany listens, offers teaching, and sometimes gently challenges unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She focuses on practical skills that can be used between sessions, such as grounding exercises, breathing strategies, and behavioral steps to reduce avoidance.
Over two decades in behavioral health have given her experience with a wide range of concerns, including panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, attachment difficulties, and chronic illness or pain. She guides people through problem-focused work while also addressing related feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation.
People who want clear steps and steady support may find her approach helpful. She helps clients set achievable goals, try new behaviors, and track small changes over time. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before scheduling a first appointment.
How Bethany uses CBT, DBT, and mindfulness online
CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include setting small behavioral experiments, practicing new coping steps, and reviewing progress each week.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills. In an online setting, DBT techniques can be practiced through guided exercises, role-play for difficult conversations, and short skills check-ins between meetings.
Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts, body sensations, and feelings without judgment. Online sessions can guide simple mindfulness practices and brief somatic awareness exercises that people can use during stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Bethany will collaborate with the client to select methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. That choice may shift as therapy progresses, and she will check in about what is helpful.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as they can vary. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help clients use therapy more consistently while they practice skills in everyday life.
