About Anieka

Anieka Dicker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She also addresses issues such as depression, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue.

She approaches sessions with practical conversation and focused goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions aim to build skills for coping with life changes and everyday pressures.

Her work includes attention to the emotional harm that can come from racism and to multicultural concerns. She validates lived experiences and discusses how discrimination and prejudice affect mood and relationships. She also supports people working through attachment issues, blended family challenges, and communication problems.

Anieka brings parenting-focused resources into her practice. She is a parent educator trained in Circle of Security and Nurturing Parenting, and she helps parents address postpartum depression, parenting stress, and family problem patterns. She can discuss practical strategies for parenting strain and balancing responsibilities.

Her sessions often focus on clear steps and short-term goals. She helps people with coping strategies for anxiety, problem solving for career and money concerns, and approaches to obsessive or compulsive behaviors. People hear direct feedback, practical tools, and options to try between sessions.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing translate to online sessions

CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In simple terms this means tracking situations, noticing the thoughts that follow, testing whether those thoughts are accurate, and trying different actions to see what changes. It can help with anxiety, low mood, OCD patterns, and practical coping skills.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify what they want and find their own reasons to change. It often involves short goal-setting, weighing pros and cons, and building small steps toward longer goals. It can be useful for motivation around career moves, parenting changes, or behavior shifts.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which approach fits their goals and preferences, and will adjust tools as those goals evolve.

The therapist's session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that match a work break or childcare window. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins, while others allow longer skill practice; discuss practical needs with the therapist when scheduling.
