About Sarah
Sarah Vollentine is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Louisiana who helps people find hope when life feels stuck. She invites people to tell their story and works alongside them to figure out practical next steps. Her approach mixes gentle support with honest challenge so clients can make real changes.
She has three years of clinical experience and has spent time helping parents and caregivers facing a child’s difficult medical diagnosis. She has also supported many young adults who feel overwhelmed by big life transitions. Those experiences shape how she listens and responds in session.
Sarah commonly addresses stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She also supports people working through family issues, self-esteem struggles, intimacy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include codependency, control issues, family of origin work, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Her toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice she focuses on clear goals, small experiments, and conversational techniques that help clients notice what works for them. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented.
People who feel unsure what to do next or stuck in past patterns may find her style useful. She offers a warm environment that also asks clients to try new ways of facing problems. To begin, visitors are invited to share their concerns and take a short matching questionnaire.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Sarah uses Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in straightforward ways. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and build motivation at a pace that fits them. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses small experiments to test new ways of responding. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, practical goals and steps clients can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways of working that feel like a good fit. That collaboration helps shape the focus and homework between meetings.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what's offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try conversational tools and goal-focused experiments from wherever they are, while the therapist and client check progress and adjust the plan as needed. -
