About Kimberley
Dr. Kimberley Dockery helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oregon and works with issues like depression, relationship strain, trauma, and challenges tied to chronic illness.
She brings ten years of clinical experience, including work as a medical family therapist. That background informs how she notices the links between physical health, relationships, and emotional life.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most to each person and uses that as the starting point for change. In sessions she focuses on clear, manageable goals and practical steps. Conversations can include looking at thoughts and behaviors, noticing emotions, and practicing new ways to relate to others and to yourself.
The goal is to help people reconnect with core values and feel steadier day to day. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. Those tools are used flexibly to match a person’s situation and preferences rather than following a single formula.
Dr. Dockery also supports people facing parenting strain, caregiver stress, cancer or chronic illness, postpartum challenges, and issues around identity and multicultural concerns. Her style is compassionate and collaborative, aiming to make change feel realistic and reachable.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and patterns in close relationships. In online sessions this approach helps people notice emotional signals, name core feelings, and try new ways of connecting or responding to others.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people how to accept uncomfortable thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when someone wants to act despite difficult feelings.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance. That makes it easier to explore sensitive topics at a pace that feels right.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made so treatment stays relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and manage care from different locations or schedules.
