About Erica
Dr. Erica Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of clinical experience based in Texas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and a range of adjustment and intimacy-related issues. She lists blended family issues among her focus areas and also addresses parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, and career-related stress.
Dr. Sanders uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and change unhelpful behaviors. She also employs client-centered and solution-focused methods to set reachable goals and build on strengths.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Conversations map what’s causing stress, identify small changes that can help, and test new ways of relating. For someone navigating stepfamily roles, co-parenting tension, or loyalty conflicts, this can mean planning concrete steps for smoother routines and clearer communication.
She holds a Doctorate from Barry University and earlier degrees from The University of Texas at Arlington. Dr. Sanders has worked across settings and with a variety of presenting problems over her career. Her experience includes both longer-term therapy and brief, goal-directed work.
Outside of practice she spends time with family, travels, and participates in community service. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and use the site flow to complete the intake questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence present connections. Online sessions using attachment ideas look at recurring interaction styles and help people try new responses in current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions CBT work often includes tracking unhelpful thoughts, testing small behavioral changes, and practicing new skills between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person’s own goals guide the work and small steps follow the client’s priorities.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to clarify goals and try methods that fit their needs. Adjustments happen along the way based on what helps most, whether the focus is reducing anxiety, improving communication in a blended household, or coping with grief or loss.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are currently offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written notes or screen sharing for skills practice and homework review. Licensed professionals adapt methods to suit the rhythm of remote sessions and the client’s everyday schedule.
