About Sarah
Sarah Vollentine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next, and she supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and compassion fatigue.
She often helps people dealing with family of origin issues, control struggles, and patterns that look like codependency. She also works with concerns around self-esteem, intimacy, life purpose, and the transitions that come with pregnancy, postpartum, and young adulthood.
In sessions she uses clear, practical techniques and straightforward conversation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to break problems into manageable steps. That can mean trying new ways of responding, setting small goals, or testing different solutions between meetings.
People who prefer a balance of challenge and support tend to do well with her style. She will ask direct questions, reflect what she hears, and help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. The focus is on decisions you can try now and the next small moves you want to make.
Her work includes helping parents and caregivers coping with hard medical news in a child, and young adults navigating major life changes. If you are tired of people-pleasing, losing yourself in relationships, or feeling responsible for others' moods, she can help you name those patterns and take practical steps forward.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In a session this looks like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new responses to reduce anxiety or stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to sort out ambivalence and find reasons to change; it helps when someone is unsure how motivated they feel about making a shift. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and tracking what works, which can be useful for setting immediate, achievable goals.Deciding which method or mix to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try approaches, and adjust as needed. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person seeking help.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to try techniques and homework between meetings and return to them in the next session. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
