About Sarah
Sarah Bulwinkle is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts with 22 years of clinical experience. She centers her work on practical strategies parents can use day to day. Her manner is direct and compassionate, focused on clear goals and measurable steps.
Over two decades she has worked in inpatient senior psychiatric hospitals, outpatient and in-home settings, and conducted crisis assessments in hospital emergency rooms. That range means she is comfortable with fast-moving situations and more gradual, skill-building work.
Background and approach
She has supported people with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and trauma histories. Parents often come with problems around behavior, sleep, eating, grief, or stress. She helps people sort priorities, set realistic plans, and build routines that fit family life.
She also addresses relationship strain, caregiver stress, and the emotional toll of divorce or separation. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior techniques, and mindfulness practices to teach practical tools. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help when making changes feels hard.
Sarah adapts sessions to a person’s goals and life demands. Sarah works in English and accepts international clients for online formats. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Approaches that translate well to online parenting support
Sarah uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify thinking patterns and change behaviors through concrete exercises and plans. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep issues, and parenting routines.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness. These methods can help with strong emotions, impulsivity, and recurring conflict in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try techniques that match your needs, and adjust methods over time so the work fits your family life and schedules.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper sessions and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting routines and different time zones.
