About Anieka
Anieka Dicker is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship strain, and anger. She also supports people managing career pressures, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
She brings practical, straightforward conversations to sessions. She helps people name what triggers their anger and frustration. She uses skill-building and clear steps so people can handle tense moments differently. Motivational work is part of how she helps people find reasons to change and keep going.
Her background includes parent education using Circle of Security and Nurturing Parenting approaches. That experience informs how she advises parents who are managing conflict or trying to change patterns with their children. She also addresses cultural and racial stress, acknowledging the psychological impact of prejudice and discrimination for BIPOC clients.
In session she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with motivational interviewing. That combination focuses on shifting thoughts and on practical, doable goals. People can expect talk about patterns, some homework-style exercises, and steps for trying new behaviors between sessions.
She frames work as collaborative and straightforward. Sessions aim to reduce repeated explosions of anger, improve communication, and build coping tools for everyday life. The first few meetings focus on identifying goals and what will make change realistic for each person.
How CBT and Motivational Interviewing work in online sessions
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice that means identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them, and trying small behavior experiments to see what changes. It is useful for anger that grows from recurring negative thinking and for stress that fuels outbursts.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses guided questions and reflective listening to strengthen commitment to new ways of handling situations. This approach supports people who feel stuck or unsure they can change their reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Early sessions typically clarify what someone wants to change and then try methods that match those targets.
