About Anneka
Anneka Dockery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with six years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, approachable presence and helps people navigate strong emotions like anger, anxiety, and grief. She uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person.
Sessions are collaborative and based on the client's goals. Anneka focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, stress, and life transitions as well as trauma and abuse recovery.
Background and approach
Her background includes outpatient mental health, residential treatment for at-risk youth, and counseling work with foster care children. That range means she has experience supporting people through family problems, attachment issues, and disruptive behavior concerns. Anneka mixes several practical approaches to tailor care to the person in front of her.
She asks questions, observes patterns, and together with the client decides which methods will help most. She also refers clients elsewhere if another service is a better fit. People who reach out can expect a warm, down-to-earth style and a focus on respect and compassion.
She recognizes how life stressors - from caregiving strain to career changes - can make emotions hard to manage, and she helps people find clearer ways to cope. Anneka practices in Delaware and conducts sessions in English. Her work covers issues such as LGBT concerns, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and the aftermath of domestic violence or infidelity.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult emotions show up. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention toward what matters most and practicing small steps that align with values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more useful habits. It is practical for managing anger, anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills and experiments to test new ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as needed. Together they decide which techniques to use and when a different path or referral might be best.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, skill reminders, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a caregiving schedule, work break, or other daily routines.
