About Kimberley
Dr. Kimberley Dockery is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Oregon who helps people who are struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She brings a calm, respectful presence and aims to help clients set small, realistic goals that feel doable. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in everyday language so people can make practical change without feeling overwhelmed.
With ten years of experience, Dr. Dockery has worked in medical family therapy and supported people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, and life transitions. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and on mindfulness to help people notice their experience without getting swept away. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy also shape how she helps people reconnect with their values and close relationships.
In sessions she listens for how a person’s relationships and context affect their struggles. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on steps that fit into daily life. She emphasizes compassion, respect, and practical strategies that can be tried between meetings.
Clients often work toward clearer priorities, steadier moods, and better ways to handle stress or relationship strain. Dr. Dockery also supports people coping with parenting pressures, career crossroads, and issues related to identity, including LGBT concerns.
Dr. Dockery accepts international clients and meets with people in English. To get started, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled to fit the client’s needs.
