Emily Salkever-Scott

Emily Salkever-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She offers a hopeful, person-centered way of working and focuses on what each person wants to get from therapy. Emily describes her approach as trauma-informed and positive, and she aims to help people take practical steps forward.

In sessions she uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help manage intense emotions and difficult thoughts. She also draws on acceptance and commitment and attachment-based ideas to address relationship patterns and values-driven change. The goal is to match techniques to what matters most to the client, not to force a one-size-fits-all plan.

Emily has experience helping people with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger, coping with life changes, addiction, parenting stress, and issues around identity and relationships. She also supports people facing burnout, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, adoption and foster care related concerns, attachment issues, and challenges tied to aging or caregiving. Emily emphasizes practical skills, gentle curiosity about patterns, and clear goals for progress. She encourages people to name what they want to change and then build small steps toward those changes.

Emily practices in New Hampshire and communicates in English. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription scheduling model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Emily’s approaches translate to online work

Emily uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside acceptance and commitment ideas to help people manage emotions and make values-based changes. CBT provides practical steps to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for intense moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings remain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily works collaboratively to figure out which combination of methods fits a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She aims to explain options clearly and tries small experiments to see what helps most in real life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking so they match your needs. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, and practice skills between meetings. Talk through scheduling and practical needs with the therapist when you match so sessions can be arranged to suit your routine.
