About Sarah
Sarah Vollentine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and issues with self-esteem. Her practice also includes coping with life changes, intimacy-related problems, and compassion fatigue.
She helps people who feel stuck, unsure what to do next, or overwhelmed by new life chapters. Sarah often supports parents and caregivers managing a child's medical diagnosis and young adults navigating transitions. Her approach blends practical problem solving with chances to notice and accept current feelings.
In sessions she uses clear, goal-focused techniques alongside conversations that explore patterns from family of origin and past choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify immediate steps that make life feel more manageable.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when clients are weighing tough decisions or trying to change a habit. She pays attention to control issues, codependency, and struggles with guilt, shame, or forgiveness. Sarah also addresses pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum concerns for those who bring them up.
People can expect direct conversation about what’s getting in the way and small, practical experiments to try between sessions. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort to clarify goals and test what works. To begin, clients follow the directory process to match and schedule a first appointment.
BHow sessions work
How her clinical approaches are used in online sessions
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and confidence issues because it breaks problems into clear steps you can practice between meetings.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are weighing change or feeling stuck. This approach focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation at a manageable pace. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify practical next steps and short-term goals that move a situation forward rather than rehashing the past.
Choosing which approach matters is part of the work. She will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation continues as progress is made, with adjustments if something isn’t working.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, handle brief check-ins, or avoid travel time. They also allow the therapist to assign practical exercises and review real-life examples from the client’s routine.
