Sarah Vollentine , LCSW

Sarah Vollentine is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people find forward movement when they feel stuck. She uses straightforward language and a warm, encouraging approach to make difficult conversations easier to start. Sarah often works with concerns many women face, including life changes, postpartum stress, and worries about purpose and identity.

She helps people manage anxiety and stress with practical tools they can use between sessions. Sarah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to gently test unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients notice their own reasons for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, manageable steps toward goals.

In sessions she balances support with gentle challenge. Conversations are focused and goal-oriented, but also compassionate. Clients can expect to talk through relationship stress, codependency, control issues, family of origin concerns, guilt, shame, and intimacy-related struggles.

Sarah has three years of clinical experience working with young adults and parents navigating hard transitions, including pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum depression. She is based in Louisiana and holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Therapy is paced to each person’s needs. Sarah helps clients set clear, realistic goals and practices skills during sessions so people leave with something to try. If someone wants a practical, down-to-earth therapist who listens and helps plan next steps, she may be a good match.

How Sarah’s approaches work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions focus on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and stress.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. In remote sessions this approach supports clarity and commitment to next steps when someone feels uncertain about making changes.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls help recreate face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around work, childcare, or other responsibilities.
