About Sarah

Sarah Vollentine is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana. She draws on three years of clinical experience to help people find practical ways forward when life feels overwhelming. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at restoring hope and clearing small, manageable paths through big problems.

Sarah focuses on stress and anxiety and on relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people coping with life changes, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin struggles.

How Sarah works

Additional areas she addresses include codependency, control issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. She has worked with parents and caregivers facing very hard medical situations for a child, and with young adults adjusting to new responsibilities and transitions. Sarah describes the therapy space as both supportive and challenging so clients can make real progress.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to emotions and day-to-day coping skills. Sarah uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. She focuses on small changes that add up, helping people try new behaviors, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and set achievable goals.

The aim is steady improvement rather than quick fixes. If someone feels stuck or unsure what to do next, Sarah listens to their story and helps create a plan. She encourages honest work and offers straightforward tools people can use between sessions.

How Sarah’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It helps with stress, worry, and low self-esteem by giving clear steps to try between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons for change. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps by building internal motivation and small goals.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete goals and practical strategies. Sessions look for what’s already working and expand those strengths to create quick, usable changes in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then pick methods that fit. That plan can be adjusted as work progresses so sessions stay useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat lets someone check in during breaks, and messaging supports brief touchpoints or ongoing updates. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches described above.
