About Emily

Emily Salkever-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire. She brings seven years of experience and a hopeful, person-centered stance to short-term and longer work. Emily aims to help people move forward based on what they want from therapy. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps toward change.

Emily uses a trauma-informed approach and draws on several evidence-based methods to address common concerns. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior tools help with emotion regulation and stress when feelings feel overwhelming.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients clarify their values and take action that matches what matters most. Attachment-based perspectives guide work around trust, closeness, and relationship worries. Her client-centered attitude keeps each person’s goals in front as interventions are chosen together.

Emily has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger, and relationship trust issues. Her wider focus includes adoption and foster care related concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, addiction, ADHD, and life transitions. She approaches these topics with direct, simple conversations and concrete skills practice.

People can expect a calm, hopeful presence and straightforward tools to practice between sessions. Emily encourages questions and collaborates on a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

Approaches that guide online work

Emily commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust techniques as needs change so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a short touchpoint helps. For some people, video lets them use body language and screen sharing for skills practice; audio or shorter sessions can work better when internet or time is limited. Emily aims to help clients find a rhythm that fits daily life and supports steady progress.
