About Bethany
Bethany Kulp is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions. She also supports those facing addiction, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and challenges related to self-esteem and identity. Bethany draws on several approaches to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.
She takes a collaborative, down-to-earth approach in sessions. Bethany listens closely, asks practical questions, and teaches skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses talk-based strategies alongside body-centered work to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations connect. Her clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses dialectical behavior skills to build emotional regulation and mindfulness practices to strengthen present-moment awareness.
Somatic methods are part of her practice to help people become more aware of bodily responses after stress or trauma. With 20 years of experience, Bethany brings steady experience and a calm manner to sessions. She holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and maintains a Texas license (TX LCSW 58242).
Sessions are offered in English and are available through multiple online formats. People start therapy by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling based on the therapist's availability. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How somatic and skills-based methods fit online
Bethany commonly draws on Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in online sessions. Somatic work focuses on noticing bodily sensations and how the body responds to stress, which can help people manage trauma reactions and anxiety. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people identify unhelpful thinking and practice different responses. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time. Sessions may combine body-centered noticing with skill practice and thought work depending on what seems most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice skills between meetings in real time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to guide somatic awareness, coach through CBT exercises, and teach DBT skills in practical, everyday ways.
