As an LMFT - which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and indicates training in relational and family systems as well as individual work - she draws on approaches suited to both personal and interpersonal concerns. She welcomes the opportunity to support individuals, couples, and families as they navigate healing and growth, and she says she would feel honored to be part of a client’s wellness journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Erica Sandoval integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a collaborative, empathic relationship that helps people explore values, goals, and personal growth. CBT offers structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and mood concerns. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for strong emotional reactions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Erica works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining techniques when appropriate to support practical change and deeper insight.

Online therapy with Erica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in treatment from familiar surroundings while working with a licensed professional.
