About Anneka

Anneka Dockery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Delaware. She brings six years of outpatient mental health experience and a straightforward, warm approach to sessions. Anneka aims to create a respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, and life changes.

She listens first and helps shape a plan that fits each person’s needs. Anneka has worked in outpatient clinics and residential treatment settings.

Background and approach

She has provided counseling for foster care children and supported people recovering from trauma and abuse. Her background includes work with grief, depression, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses intimacy, self-esteem, and career-related stress.

Her style is down-to-earth and nonjudgmental. She asks questions to understand what matters most and avoids stigmatizing labels. She believes therapy should match the person, so she and the client discuss which approaches might help.

If another provider is a better fit, she will help with that referral. Anneka draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques. She tailors tools to the situation, using practical steps people can try between sessions.

Her goal is to help clients build more connection, clearer communication, and steadier emotion management. People often come to her for relationship problems, family strain, abandonment and attachment issues, infidelity, divorce and separation, or parenting stress. She also supports those facing anger, isolation, or the emotional fallout of life transitions.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting patterns in emotions and interactions to improve connection and reduce relationship distress. It helps people notice their emotional responses and practice new ways of relating during conversations and problem-solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while taking steps that align with personal values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. Sessions begin with assessment and conversation about preferences, and then techniques are adapted as progress is tracked together.

Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a quick break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, reminders, and breathing-room support between sessions. These remote options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
