Sarah Vollentine, LCSW

Sarah Vollentine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana who focuses on helping people regain hope and move forward. She writes simply and listens closely to each person's story. Sarah aims to create a warm but honest space where clients can try new ways of coping and making decisions.

Sarah uses practical approaches to reduce anxiety and stress. She helps people sort through relationship and intimacy concerns, address compassion fatigue, and work on family of origin or codependency issues. She also supports parents through pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, and helps young adults manage life transitions.

In sessions she often brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused methods into the conversation. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, find motivation for change, and build small, workable strategies for daily life. Sessions balance empathy with gentle challenge so clients can practice different responses.

Sarah has three years of clinical experience and draws on that background when helping clients make concrete plans. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps and wants to help them discover clearer options. Her style is straightforward, compassionate, and geared toward real life improvements.

If you are ready to talk through what matters most, she encourages you to share your story and explore practical next steps together.

How Sarah Uses CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Work Online

Sarah commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test thoughts that increase anxiety or lower mood. CBT focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try different behaviors and notice the results.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking next steps because it builds internal motivation rather than giving directives.

Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she brings to sessions, emphasizing small, practical changes that add up. That method centers on goals and on identifying past successes to guide new choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what they want to accomplish in therapy. Together they adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow fuller conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text options are useful for brief check-ins or when clients prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to keep momentum and practice strategies between sessions.
