About Sarah
Sarah Vollentine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and self-esteem struggles. She also works with issues around compassion fatigue, intimacy, and major life changes. Sarah lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy among her approaches.
Sarah focuses on clear, practical steps people can try between sessions. She listens to each person's story and helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. From there she offers small experiments and concrete skills to test what makes a difference.
Her work often centers on life transitions, postpartum challenges, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and issues many women face. She also helps young adults and parents or caregivers dealing with overwhelming new responsibilities. Topics such as codependency, control issues, family of origin concerns, guilt, shame, forgiveness, and life purpose are within her stated focus.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal oriented. Sarah uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns and build alternative responses. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change, while Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify what is already working and expand those patterns.
If someone is unsure what to do next, Sarah helps map options and create small, manageable steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the listed process to begin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT offers practical tools for anxiety, stress, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of relationships. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what matters most and builds commitment to small changes; it is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's day-to-day life. Adjustments are made along the way based on what the client reports is working or not working.
Confirm the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people test skills in real settings and bring what happens between sessions back for review.
