About Emily

Emily Salkever-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She uses a trauma-informed, person-centered style and aims to help people make practical changes that match their goals. Emily keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what each person wants to get from therapy.

Her background includes training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas to address patterns that come from relationships and life events.

Background and approach

Emily tailors techniques to the situation rather than applying one fixed method. Emily works with a long list of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addictions, and parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem issues, anger, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, and relationship communication problems. Sessions aim to build useful skills and clearer thinking, while also honoring a person's experience. Practical tools from CBT and DBT mix with acceptance strategies to help manage distress and pursue meaningful goals.

Emily balances skill teaching with listening so clients can choose what fits them. She provides services from New Hampshire and communicates in English. Emily holds licenses in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire - PA LPC PC012475 and NH LCMHC 3468.

For many people, that combination of structured skills and a person-centered approach makes therapy feel both manageable and hopeful.

How Emily blends therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life while accepting hard feelings that come up. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where the goal is living more in line with what matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It teaches clear strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress so daily life feels more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emily will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose or combine methods so sessions match the client’s needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, follow up between sessions, and continue work during life changes or while traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skill coaching to these formats so clients keep moving toward their goals.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
