About Anneka
Anneka Dockery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Delaware with six years of clinical experience. She has worked in outpatient mental health and in residential treatment settings for at-risk youth. Anneka has also provided counseling in foster care contexts and completed an internship supporting veterans and military families.
She helps people having trouble with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy problems. She also addresses self-esteem, career strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges that come with major life changes. Anneka lists work related to trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and a broad range of family and relationship concerns.
Her background includes couples-related work such as divorce mediation and addressing infidelity or commitment questions. She also supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Anneka has experience with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) and with clients affected by domestic violence and family-of-origin issues.
Anneka uses several therapy approaches and makes treatment choices together with each person during assessment. She lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among her approaches. She emphasizes matching methods to what a person needs rather than assuming one model fits all.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and next steps. If a different referral is needed to get the right help, she will discuss that option. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site process to view online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How Anneka blends EFT, ACT, and attachment ideas in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns and attachment needs in relationships. It can help people name and talk about feelings that are hard to name and notice the interaction patterns those feelings create. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching practical ways to move forward despite difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early connection experiences and how they shape current relationships. This approach can be useful when someone struggles with trust, abandonment worries, or repeated relationship conflicts. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and consider which methods fit best. That decision is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches based on individual needs. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the platform and session length when you schedule so you know what to expect.Areas of expertise
