Sarah Vollentine

Sarah Vollentine is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, and lists life purpose among her areas of focus. She works with people feeling stuck, unsure what to do next, or overwhelmed by new life phases. She invites clients to talk through current struggles and to practice acceptance alongside small steps toward change. In sessions she combines clear, action-oriented methods with conversation about what matters now. Her work includes supporting parents and caregivers through difficult medical situations affecting their children, and helping young adults who feel overwhelmed by transitions. Sarah uses practical tools to address patterns such as codependency, control issues, and family of origin concerns. She also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. She can support people coping with postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, women’s issues, and young adult issues. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set manageable goals and notice what changes between sessions. Conversations are intended to be straightforward, with concrete strategies and check-ins on progress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How her therapeutic approaches translate online

Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and short between-session tasks to test what changes in day-to-day life.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters to a person and to support readiness for change. That approach focuses on the client’s own goals and the reasons they want to move forward. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, achievable steps and to track progress quickly during sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Confirm the session formats available before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online sessions help fit work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or reduce time spent traveling to appointments. If quieter surroundings or less screen time are preferable, mention that when arranging sessions so timing and length can be discussed.
