About Sarah
Sarah Vollentine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with three years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and difficulty coping with life changes. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and struggles with guilt and shame.
She helps clients who feel stuck or unsure what to do next. Sessions are described as supportive while also offering challenges that move people forward. Sarah has worked with parents and caregivers navigating a child’s serious medical diagnosis and with young adults adjusting to new life chapters.
Her approach is practical and goal-focused. She uses strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone needs to find their own reasons to change. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, actionable steps and build on strengths.
In a session she talks through current problems, clarifies immediate goals, and tests small changes between meetings. She encourages acceptance of the present while working toward a more hopeful future. That mix of acceptance and active work is offered in straightforward language without clinical jargon.
People seeking help for codependency, control issues, family of origin conflicts, forgiveness concerns, life purpose questions, or perinatal mood changes may find this focus relevant. Sarah also lists women's issues and young adult issues among her areas of attention.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions, then test different responses to reduce unhelpful patterns. This approach suits worries, anxiety, and persistent self-critical thinking. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and can help when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about taking steps forward. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and on what is already working, which can make progress feel manageable.Finding the best approach is a shared process. She will work with each person to try methods that fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting the plan over time rather than committing to one way from the start.

Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can focus on practical tools, homework tasks, and short experiments people can try between meetings to see what helps.
