About Emily

Emily Salkever-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire with seven years of experience. She focuses on common problems people bring to therapy, including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, and parenting pressures. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Emily uses practical methods that help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and attachment work. In sessions she helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different responses in everyday life.

Her approach is person-centered in tone and trauma-informed in orientation. That means she pays attention to how past hurt can shape current reactions while focusing on what a person wants to change now. She also uses motivational techniques when people want clearer steps toward change.

Emily works with a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and bipolar and mood concerns. She also assists people facing adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, body image, and substance-related problems.

Practical skills and clear steps are central to her work. Clients can expect to leave sessions with specific techniques to try between meetings and opportunities to review what did and did not help. To begin, users follow the site matching process and schedule a first session.

Using CBT, ACT, and Attachment work in online sessions

Emily often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and many everyday stresses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and practice accepting difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try different ways of relating and regulating emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. The therapist and client review goals, test methods, and adjust strategies based on what helps. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT exercises, ACT practices, or attachment-focused conversations will be emphasized.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, fewer travel hours, or the option to use audio only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote sessions so people still practice skills between meetings.
