Bethany Kulp , LCSW

Bethany Kulp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 20 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health and life challenges. She emphasizes a collaborative, compassionate, and goal-directed style that blends cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies with body-centered methods. Her work focuses on helping clients build insight, learn coping skills, and challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that contribute to distress.

In addition to traditional talk therapies, Bethany integrates somatic approaches to help clients engage with bodily sensations as part of healing. She is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner - a training that uses awareness of physical sensations to address the effects of stress and trauma - and has incorporated these skills since 2015. Bethany is also trained in Integral Somatic Psychology, which combines psychological and somatic perspectives to support change. She listens empathetically, teaches practical skills, gently challenges limiting patterns, and encourages clients to draw their own conclusions while keeping treatment focused on meaningful goals.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting and career concerns, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, family of origin work, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, midlife transitions, OCD-related concerns, and panic-related issues. Bethany tailors evidence-informed approaches to meet each person's unique needs.
