About Anneka
Anneka Dockery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with six years of experience. She practices in Delaware and has worked in outpatient mental health, residential treatment, and foster care settings. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, and blended family issues.
She has counseled people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, caregiving stress, communication problems, and the fallout of divorce or infidelity. Her background includes work with at-risk youth and foster children, and an internship caring for veterans and military families. She also has lived experience as a military spouse, which informs her understanding of military-related stress.
In sessions she asks questions to understand what’s happening and what the person needs. She uses a variety of approaches and discusses which methods might fit during assessment. That means therapy can change depending on the issue and the person’s goals.
Typical concerns she addresses include relationship problems, parenting strain within blended households, career stress, mood disorders such as bipolar, and coping with life changes. She also works with people affected by domestic violence and emotional or physical trauma.
Anneka accepts clients in English and practices under her DE LMFT and NC LMFT credentials. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site.
How Anneka uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making decisions in complex family situations.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and ongoing relationship patterns and how they affect trust and closeness now. This approach can be useful for people dealing with loyalty conflicts, attachment wounds, or trouble forming secure connections in stepfamilies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and recommend methods that fit. That recommendation can change as progress is made or as new issues appear.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions without needing to travel, or options that require less bandwidth than video. These practical benefits help therapy fit everyday routines, and the therapist will discuss which session arrangement best supports each person's situation.
