Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care

Dr. Erica Sanders draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor work to each client's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people repair or strengthen bonds in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective, offering a nonjudgmental space where the therapist reflects and supports the client’s own problem-solving and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Erica Sanders collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts interventions over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual's changing needs.

Online therapy increases flexibility by offering multiple ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage caregiving responsibilities, or engage from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support while accommodating different communication styles and practical constraints.
