About Jerrelda
Dr. Jerrelda Sanders is a licensed clinical social worker with five years of practice in Louisiana. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, career struggles, and depression. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and care to each person's needs.
Dr. Sanders builds a straightforward working relationship. She listens to what feels most pressing and helps set small, practical steps forward.

Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among her focus areas and may be addressed through these practical steps.
Her background includes hands-on experience supporting people through life transitions and difficult feelings. She adapts her approach to fit each person rather than using a single method for everyone. That means changing pace, trying different skills, and checking in about what helps.
People can expect a calm, down-to-earth tone in sessions. Dr. Sanders emphasizes safety of pace - moving forward when the person feels ready. She centers the person’s priorities and works with them to identify realistic next steps.
If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. This helps match needs with timing and lets Dr. Sanders and the person plan the first sessions together.
How evidence-based techniques can guide online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on breaking problems into manageable parts. One common approach teaches practical coping skills for managing anxiety symptoms and panic attacks. It includes breathing and grounding exercises, pacing exposure to feared situations, and step-by-step practice to reduce avoidance and worry.Another approach emphasizes short-term goal setting and problem solving. This method helps people identify what matters most, set realistic next steps, and test small changes between sessions to see what works in daily life. It is often useful for stress, relationship problems, and career-related decisions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and what feels doable. Together they decide which techniques to try, adjust plans as progress unfolds, and focus on what helps most in everyday life.
