About Anneka
Anneka Dockery is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Delaware. She draws on six years of outpatient and residential experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and grief. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions.
She has worked with clients from varied backgrounds, including youth in residential treatment and children in foster care. Her background includes supporting people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse, and a past internship involved veterans and military families. Those experiences inform her understanding of stress, attachment issues, and the effects of life transitions.
Therapy with Anneka centers on listening first. During assessment she asks questions to understand what a person is facing. Together with each client she considers which approach fits best rather than assuming one model will work for everyone. She uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy among others.
In sessions she focuses on practical, real-world changes. That might mean learning new ways to manage strong emotions, improving communication in close relationships, or working through grief and loss. She also supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, parenting challenges, and issues around intimacy and trust.
Anneka encourages clients to be active partners in their care. If an issue is outside her scope, she will help find other resources. Her goal is to help people move toward steadier mood, clearer priorities, and greater confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Anneka seeks to understand your goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try together. She approaches this as a collaborative process and will adjust strategies as needs change.
