About Emily
Emily Salkever-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She uses a trauma-informed, person-centered stance and aims to help people take practical steps toward the life they want. Her approach is hopeful and direct, focused on what each person wants to get from therapy.
She often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with emotion-focused skills to help manage anxiety, depression, and stress.
Background and approach
She also draws on acceptance-based strategies to support coping with life changes, grief, and recurring patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions emphasize clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings. Many people seek her help for relationship and intimacy issues, trust and attachment difficulties, or struggles related to identity and the LGBT experience.
She also supports people facing addiction, bipolar mood concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. ADHD is listed among her focus areas and may be part of a broader treatment plan. Her style is warm and person-centered.
She listens first, then offers tools tuned to each person's goals. Clients can expect collaborative planning, straightforward feedback, and practiceable strategies for day-to-day life. Emily works remotely with people in New Hampshire and beyond.
She offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and communication preferences. The starting step is a short matching process followed by scheduling based on availability.
How specific approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behavior, teaching practical skills to reduce worry, manage mood, and improve sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for strong emotions or relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense given goals and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT skills, adding ACT practices, or emphasizing DBT tools as needed; the plan is adjusted over time.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and skill teaching, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules while keeping the focus on practical, usable strategies.
