About Erica
Dr. Erica Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience. She guides people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting challenges in a straightforward, practical way.
Her approach centers on helping clients identify what matters and use their strengths to move forward. She favors attachment-based and client-centered methods to build understanding of how early bonds affect current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety stuck.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help clarify goals and create small, doable steps toward them. Dr. Sanders has worked across clinical settings and with diverse life concerns.
That background informs brief and longer-term plans designed around each person’s needs. She often helps people who are coping with grief, trauma, family conflict, or major life transitions. Parents find her practical when facing blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, or the daily strain of caregiving.
She also addresses intimacy, communication, commitment, and self-esteem struggles with direct tools and homework when useful. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled from Texas. Her LCSW credential appears as TX LCSW and AZ LCSW.
People who prefer remote care can work together through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to notice these patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the therapist listens and follows the client’s lead to build clarity and self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside these approaches, targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and improve coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, whether that means exploring attachment wounds, practicing CBT tools, or setting short-term solution-focused steps. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.
Online formats support flexibility and access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth or a camera is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone needs a shorter touchpoint between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
