She also supports people working through blended family issues, commitment and communication problems, body image, and caregiving stress. Practical topics like career decisions, life purpose, and parenting strain are also part of her focus.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Sanders commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people see how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and closeness. This work is useful for people struggling with trust, commitment issues, or repeating relationship patterns.She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which puts the client's experience at the center and encourages self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when clients want specific tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as for anxiety or low mood.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist and client talk about goals, try approaches that fit the concern, and adjust as needs change. That collaborative process helps find what feels most useful for each person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let conversations feel face-to-face, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit around busy days. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
