More about Kimberley
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in Oregon with over 7 years of experience working as a medical family therapist. I have worked with an array of clients with a wide range of presenting problems including grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relational distress, and adjustment as well as clients dealing with chronic illness.
As a family therapist, I am dedicated to facilitate positive change by exploring the client’s story within their context, interactions, and relationships. My personal values of compassion, care, and respect are fundamental in my practice. I employ a collaborative approach with strong reliance on cognitive-behavioral and biopsychosocial spiritual treatment modalities.
I believe we can narrow down what you desire to address and set some simple, realistic goals so you can feel connected to your core values and positive beliefs again. Are you ready to take some steps towards change? It is a privilege to work with you and offer support during this process.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very knowledgeable and engaging. Has a good footing in counseling online and has a good pace.
Dr. Dockery has been a transformational therapist for me, creating a very safe place for me to be vulnerable and work on hard issues that have held me back from living a full life. I’m grateful for the Dr. Dockery’s approach and presence as a therapist.
Great
Dr. Dockery is a good counselor to talk to. Highly would recommend her to someone else that needs help with things.
She is very helpful and answers all my questions.
Dr. Dockery is a caring, considerate therapist. I have chosen phone counseling (my first experience) and like it! Initially, the design of your app made me excited to start up. But I must give the rest to Dr. Dockery, she has a peaceful, calm, receptiveness that has allowed me to feel safe and be open. I would recommend Dr. Dockery whole heartedly!!!
Dr. Dockery is absolutely the best. She has such insightful things to say, she is always able to help me work through my thoughts, and she’s so supportive. I was nervous for my first time pursuing counseling, but I’m so happy I did!
I feel completely comfortable discussing my situation with Dr. Dockery. She is a good listener and understands my issues and presents me with good ideas to work through them.
Dr. Dockery has created a very safe place for me to explore my current situation as well as resources to help me reflect and take action.
I recently started speaking with and seeing Dr. Dockery. So far my experience has been great. I feel that just having someone to vent to and run your thoughts to is super helpful and her responses are always timely and clearly have been thought out in regards to what I have sputtered out or questioned. I feel that I am being heard in a way that I never have been before and I am excited for the opportunity to learn more about myself with her expertise and help.
Dr Dockery is awesome. I love how she listens and makes me understand the situation in alignment with my values. This makes me open up more and I must say the sessions are really transforming my life. She doesn’t need to point out the red flag or make me see the light; I just know from the approach of things. You’re awesome Dr Dockery, I will always choose you.
Dr. Dockery is a great listener and extremely easy to talk to. I was able to open up about past trauma pretty early on (first couple of calls). It is always a pleasure to speak with her and I would highly recommend her - speaking with her has helped me tremendously.
