Anneka Dockery

Anneka Dockery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with six years of outpatient experience. She brings a warm, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and major life changes.

She has worked in residential treatment settings and provided counseling for children in foster care. Her background includes supporting people coping with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to intimacy and self-esteem. Anneka has experience addressing issues such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and family conflict.

Anneka emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work. She asks questions to understand each person and avoids stigmatizing labels. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to meet people where they are in life.

Her approach is flexible. During assessment she and the client consider which therapy methods might help most, because she does not assume one model fits every situation. Anneka also notes she will connect clients with other resources if that best meets their needs.

People who choose her can expect a practical focus on real-life concerns. Sessions typically look at current problems, patterns that keep those problems going, and steps to try at home. She encourages small, doable changes that add up to better coping and clearer relationships.

How Anneka’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings, then focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, mood, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions; it can be helpful for intimacy, attachment issues, and family concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anneka will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and situation. She assesses during the first sessions and adjusts the plan as needed, and will refer out if another resource is a better match.

The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks from work or school. It can also let people try methods like ACT and CBT in the moments they need them, practicing skills between meetings and bringing those experiences back to sessions for discussion.
