About Erica
Dr. Erica Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Erica has a doctoral degree from Barry University and both a bachelor’s and master’s from The University of Texas at Arlington. Her background includes long-term and brief interventions across community and clinical settings. That range informs a practical style that alternates short-term goals and deeper relational work as needed.
Typical topics include managing anger and compassion fatigue, addressing commitment and abandonment concerns, and navigating blended family or fatherhood issues. She also works with body image, caregiver stress, career decisions, and life purpose questions. Sessions often mix skills practice with reflection on attachment patterns.
people who come to her can expect clear explanations of therapeutic techniques and concrete homework to try between sessions. The approach aims to help people develop new habits of thinking and behaving, improve communication, and make steady progress toward the goals they set together.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors. Online sessions can guide thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework planning so clients can test changes between meetings.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. In remote sessions this can mean talking through relationship cycles, practicing new ways of relating, and observing how those patterns play out in daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects concerns back, and helps clients choose the next practical steps that feel doable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying CBT exercises alongside attachment questions or brief solution-focused steps to see what helps most.
