About Anneka
Anneka Dockery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Delaware. She brings six years of clinical experience in outpatient mental health and has worked in residential treatment and foster care settings. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make therapy feel approachable for people under stress.
She uses several practical methods to help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
How Anneka works
Sessions often focus on real-life problems like communication breakdowns, commitment worries, parenting stress, and the fallout from trauma or abuse. Anneka also supports people managing career stress, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Her background includes work with foster care youth and residents in treatment programs, which shaped her focus on attachment, abandonment, and family-of-origin issues.
She has experience addressing domestic violence, infidelity, divorce and separation, and blended family challenges. That work informs how she helps people rebuild trust and repair connection. Anneka prefers a collaborative process.
She listens first, asks questions to understand what matters most, and then suggests approaches that fit each person. If a different resource or referral is needed, she will help arrange it. People who choose her can expect practical conversation and clear steps to try between visits.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and straightforward talk while guiding clients toward stronger coping and clearer relationships.

How Anneka’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without letting them drive behavior and then commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and helps people understand how early bonds affect current connection and trust; it can be useful for intimacy concerns and family-of-origin problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and improve mood and coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences and helps decide which methods to try. That choice can change over time, and she collaborates with clients to adjust the plan as needs evolve.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction when that feels helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, flexible ways to process thoughts between sessions. These options give more ways to stay consistent with sessions, practice new skills, and keep momentum toward your goals.
