About Anneka
Anneka Dockery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who blends existential ideas with practical therapy. She draws on six years of outpatient and residential experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy challenges. Anneka is based in Delaware and uses a down-to-earth, respectful manner in sessions.
She often begins by listening closely to each person's story and current struggles. That helps her and the client choose tools that fit the problem, whether those are behavioral strategies, values-focused work, or attention to attachment patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and build steps toward those values. Anneka has worked in residential treatment for at-risk youth and provided counseling to children in foster care. She has experience supporting people who have lived through trauma, abuse, grief, domestic violence, and life transitions like divorce or separation.
Her background also includes an internship working with veterans and military-connected families. Her style is warm and straightforward. She asks questions to understand each person's life and avoids labeling.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients develop coping skills and clearer communication patterns. For practical concerns, Anneka offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits them.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online sessions
Existential therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and facing life’s big questions. In sessions this looks like conversations about values, purpose, and how a person wants to live despite stress or loss. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy, trust, and relationship repair.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and together you will try methods that fit your needs and goals. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust course as you learn what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in format and pace. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write through moments of stress, fit support into a busy day, or stay connected between sessions. These options help make therapy accessible while keeping the focus on practical progress and meaningful change.
