About Erica

Dr. Erica Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and career and life-change issues. Sessions are aimed at practical problem solving and clearer next steps.

Dr. Sanders uses direct, evidence-informed approaches to help people untangle recurring patterns that cause pain. She emphasizes attachment issues, communication problems, and commitment or intimacy-related struggles when those factors show up in a person’s life. She also supports people facing abandonment wounds, body image concerns, guilt and shame, or the stress of caregiving.

Her work blends client-centered conversations with cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused planning. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding motivation for change. Trauma-focused and attachment-based ideas guide how she talks about hurt from the past.

Expect sessions that look at what’s happening now and what practical steps could come next. Dr. Sanders helps clients map choices, set simple goals, and try small experiments between meetings. This plain, action-oriented approach is meant to reduce overwhelm and build confidence one step at a time.

Outside of practice she enjoys travel, family time, and community service. Her background includes a doctorate from Barry University and degrees from The University of Texas at Arlington, with experience across brief and longer-term work in varied settings.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape present reactions. Online sessions can focus on patterns in current relationships and how to build different responses over time. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying to help a person understand their own choices and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dr. Sanders will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try approaches that match those goals. She adjusts strategies over time based on what the client reports and what helps in everyday life.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and allow sessions without travel. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while juggling family, work, and other responsibilities.
