Dr. Erica Sanders

Dr. Erica Sanders uses an approach that centers on relationships and practical skills to help people manage strong emotions like anger. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate from Barry University and brings 15 years of clinical experience. Her style is direct and warm, focused on helping people understand what drives their reactions and find clearer ways to respond.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Anger, intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns are among the topics she addresses. She also supports people coping with life changes, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and struggles with self-esteem and body image.

Her approach draws on attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when helpful, tailoring work to each person's situation. Sessions aim to connect patterns in relationships with everyday choices and behaviors.

Dr. Sanders has worked across diverse settings over her career and uses both brief and longer-term interventions depending on need. People can expect a mix of practical exercises, goal-setting, and reflection. She invites clients to identify clear next steps and build on their own strengths.

Outside of practice she enjoys travel, family time, and community service. Choosing therapy can feel hard; she frames the work as a partnership that helps people move from merely surviving to making real changes.

How relational approaches translate to online work

Dr. Sanders commonly uses Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how they shape emotions and trust; it can help with anger tied to relationship wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods, and adjust as needed. Together they decide what feels most useful and practical for the client's situation and day-to-day life.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people work from different locations and still maintain steady therapeutic progress. Licensed professionals adapt tools like CBT worksheets or relationship-focused reflections to work well in remote sessions, and the therapist will help shape a plan that fits the client's routines and goals.
