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 calm, hopeful presence to sessions. She focuses on what each person wants to get out of therapy and helps them take practical steps toward those goals.

Her work centers on trauma-informed care and a person-centered outlook. She uses evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral techniques and skills-based approaches to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. She also helps people process grief, anger, relationship trust issues, and transitions.

Emily draws from a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and attachment-focused work. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps clients set clear, doable steps to change painful patterns. The focus is on what feels most useful to each client in the moment.

She has experience addressing a wide range of concerns such as sleep difficulties, parenting strain, substance use issues, ADHD, and identity-related stress. She also supports people facing abandonment, adoption or foster care topics, aging and caregiver stress, and communication or commitment problems.

Sessions are offered in English and Emily is open to working with international clients. She aims to be collaborative and practical, helping people build skills they can use between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that matter to them. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings run high.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful for sleep, relationships, or daily stress.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the options available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, make scheduling shorter check-ins simpler, or let someone join from a location that reduces disruption to their day. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT skills to work over distance while focusing on practical tools and routines that support better sleep and daily functioning.
