About Anneka
Anneka Dockery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on relationships and emotional health. She brings six years of outpatient and residential experience to sessions and aims for a warm, down-to-earth approach that helps people feel heard and respected. She uses practical methods to help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem.
Relationship and intimacy concerns are a central focus, including communication problems, commitment worries, and issues that follow separation or infidelity.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing caregiver stress, career changes, and complicated family dynamics. Her background includes work in residential treatment for at-risk youth and counseling foster care children. She has experience with trauma, emotional abuse, and clients managing mood challenges such as bipolar disorder and disruptive mood symptoms.
An internship serving veterans and military families informed her understanding of military-related stress and transitions. Anneka describes her style as inviting and nonjudgmental. She asks questions to understand what matters most and treats each person with sensitivity and respect.
She does not rely on one single model for every client and prefers to tailor the plan to each person’s situation. During the first sessions she and the client assess goals and choose the best therapeutic approaches together. If a different resource would serve someone better, she will help make that connection.
Her aim is to help people gain skills, clarity, and more confidence in daily life.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Anneka uses methods that focus on relationships and personal values. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and reducing conflict in relationships by teaching practical skills for listening, problem solving, and reconnecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that formed in early relationships and helps people develop healthier ways of relating and feeling supported.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try methods that fit the situation. That collaborative process means approaches may be combined or adjusted over time to match what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions offer ongoing support and work well for brief updates, tracking progress, or fitting counseling into busy days.
