Evidence-Based Tools, Made Accessible Online

Sarah Bulwinkle draws from practical, skills-based approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and habits, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to work through concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday life challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. It can be especially useful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or who want better tools for coping in the moment. Mindfulness Therapy adds strategies for grounding and present-moment awareness, helping clients slow down, reduce reactivity, and relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Choosing the right approach is not a test and it does not have to be decided upfront. Sarah works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the plan over time based on what feels most useful.

Online therapy can make support easier to fit into real life. Clients can meet with Sarah by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between sessions.
