About Erica
Dr. Erica Sanders uses evidence-informed approaches to help people move from surviving to thriving.
Background and approach
She emphasizes cognitive behavioral strategies alongside attachment-focused and client-centered methods to identify unhelpful thinking, strengthen relationships, and build practical skills for everyday challenges. With a collaborative stance, she aims to provide clarity and direction when clients face anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship conflicts, parenting struggles, career decisions, or major life transitions.
Dr. Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience and holds a doctorate from Barry University as well as bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The University of Texas at Arlington.
She has worked with individuals, couples, and families in diverse settings using both short-term and longer-term interventions. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, communication and commitment concerns, and women’s issues.
She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Clients start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to her availability.
Applying practical approaches to online therapy and relationships
Dr. Sanders often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy is another key component of her work, focusing on how relationship patterns and early connection experiences influence current intimacy, communication, and trust issues. She combines these approaches with a client-centered stance that emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring interventions to each person's goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. She works with clients to explore what feels most relevant and practical, adjusting strategies as goals evolve and new information emerges. This cooperative method helps clients engage with interventions that match their needs and preferences rather than adhering to a single technique from the outset.
Online therapy with Dr. Sanders is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, balance work and family demands, and access support when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and attachment-informed work effectively through these remote formats, focusing on skills, insight, and real-world practice.
