About Anneka
Anneka Dockery brings a practical, client-centered approach rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy while drawing on several complementary methods.
Background and approach
She is an LMFT with six years of outpatient mental health experience and has worked in residential treatment and foster care settings, giving her a broad view of common stressors and relational dynamics.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy challenges, self-esteem, LGBT issues, career stress, bipolar management, and compassion fatigue. Anneka favors a warm, down-to-earth style that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and collaboration.
She listens closely to assess each person’s needs and discusses which therapeutic approach may fit best rather than assuming a single model works for everyone. That flexible stance extends to addressing family and communication problems, attachment and abandonment issues, divorce and separation matters, infidelity, caregiver stress, and other life transitions.
Committed to practical help, she will recommend or pursue whatever clinical steps are needed to support progress, even referring elsewhere when appropriate. Based in Delaware and licensed as an LMFT, Anneka aims to guide people toward greater resilience, healthier relationships, and improved emotional well-being.
Online therapy approaches and practical access
Anneka commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based action and learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, often helping with life transitions, grief, and compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist begins by assessing each person’s concerns and preferences, then discusses which methods might be most useful. She emphasizes working together to tailor interventions so they fit the client’s goals rather than imposing a single model.
Online formats support this flexible, client-centered work by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide practical benefits such as easier scheduling, access from home, and the ability to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional times. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured therapies and skills practice while adapting to each client’s pace and needs.
