Emily Salkever-Scott , LPC, LCMHC

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 clinical experience. She brings a trauma-informed outlook and a hopeful, person-centered approach to her work, collaborating with people to identify what they want from therapy and supporting them as they move toward those goals.

Emily integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor interventions to each individual. These approaches are applied to help address unhelpful patterns, strengthen relationships, and build practical skills for managing emotions and daily challenges.

She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, sleep difficulties, parenting, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, autism spectrum considerations, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, responses to disasters, dissociation, divorce and separation, and drug and alcohol addiction.

Her style is collaborative and grounded in respect for each person’s values and goals. Emily aims to walk alongside people as they take steps toward the life they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Emily often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most rather than on eliminating uncomfortable internal experiences.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach Emily uses to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people improve connection, address intimacy-related concerns, and repair trust in relationships by building awareness of attachment needs and responses.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is commonly applied for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with everyday challenges through skill-building and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Emily works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Emily is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the communication style that feels most comfortable. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
