About Emily
Emily Salkever-Scott uses a trauma-informed, person-centered approach to help people move forward. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor and frames work around each person’s goals. Sessions focus on practical steps that match what a client wants to change.
Emily writes plainly and keeps work grounded and hopeful. She draws on seven years of experience helping people cope with anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Her practice also addresses intimacy concerns, self-esteem, addiction, bipolar disorder, and parenting strain.
Background and approach
Emily pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that get in the way of feeling safe and connected. The methods she uses include cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior techniques for emotion regulation, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action. She blends these with a client-centered stance so people set the pace.
Sessions are practical and aimed at small, doable changes. Emily works with concerns tied to trauma and abuse, dissociation, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing life transitions, career questions, body image or communication problems, and recovery from substance issues.
Her approach is adaptable to a wide range of challenges. In sessions she encourages collaboration and clear steps people can try between meetings. Emily accepts international clients and provides services from New Hampshire.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles.
Approaches that guide online work and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and then take action toward those values. It supports work with anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes by focusing on committed steps rather than avoiding difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting based on how things feel and what helps.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work well for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility in how people practice skills and stay connected between meetings.
