Sarah Jablecki, LICSW

Sarah Jablecki is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Rhode Island with eight years of professional experience. She specializes in supporting people navigating LGBTQ+ related concerns, family conflicts, intimacy-related challenges, self-esteem and confidence issues, and major life transitions. Her practice also addresses a broad range of related concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, communication and control struggles, divorce and separation, domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, feelings of emptiness, family of origin patterns, aging and geriatric concerns, and work with BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture.

Sarah approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, recognizing that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries resources that can support change. She frames seeking help as a courageous first step and focuses on building motivation, practical skills, and clearer communication to foster more satisfying relationships and a fuller sense of self. As a Rhode Island LICSW, she aims to partner with clients to set goals and navigate life’s shifts with empathy and practical strategies.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Sarah uses a strengths-based approach that helps clients identify existing resources and build on personal abilities to address challenges such as low self-esteem, motivation issues, and life transitions. This work focuses on practical steps and leveraging what already works for each person.

She also offers attachment-informed interventions that explore patterns in close relationships and help clients develop more secure connections and healthier intimacy. These methods can be helpful for those dealing with abandonment, codependency, and family of origin concerns.

In addition, Sarah incorporates skills-based strategies to improve communication and coping - teaching clear communication techniques, stress management tools, and problem-solving steps useful for family conflict, caregiver stress, and blended family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah collaborates with each person to determine which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the work as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from home or other locations.
