Sarah Vollentine, LCSW

Sarah Vollentine is a licensed clinical social worker with three years of practice in Louisiana. She meets people where they are and listens to their stories with warmth. She aims to help those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps, and she offers a direct but supportive style.

Sarah helps people build hope for a different future while working on acceptance in the present. She has experience supporting parents and caregivers facing a child’s serious medical diagnosis. She also has worked with young adults adjusting to big life changes and the stress that comes with them.

Her approach blends practical, goal-focused work with space for honest emotional processing. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to make changes, and Solution-Focused Therapy supports quick, concrete steps when that fits.

Sarah often addresses stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also works with complications like compassion fatigue, codependency, family of origin wounds, and feelings of guilt or shame. She can support people through pregnancy, postpartum, and other life transitions.

How these approaches look in online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that drive stress and anxiety. Online sessions can guide clients to spot unhelpful thinking and practice new, more helpful responses between meetings.

Motivational Interviewing centers on finding what matters most to the client. In a collaborative session the therapist asks questions that help people uncover personal reasons to change and set realistic goals.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, workable steps that move life forward. Sessions emphasize what’s already working and build brief action plans to create quick momentum.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation helps shape whether CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused work, or a mix will be used.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, keep appointments during transitions, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows therapists to assign practical exercises and follow-up between meetings to support steady progress.
