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 clinical experience.

Background and approach

She brings a trauma-informed lens and a person-centered stance to her work, helping clients clarify what they want from therapy and supporting progress toward those goals. Emily draws on a diverse set of evidence-based tools to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety and depression, intimacy and relationship problems, addiction, ADHD, and stress-related issues. Additional areas of focus include attachment and communication problems, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, dissociation, and coping with loss or major life transitions.

Emily has received extensive training in cognitive behavioral approaches as well as dialectical skills and motivational strategies, and she combines these with acceptance-oriented and attachment-informed methods to meet clients where they are. Emily works with clients in English and accepts international clients.

She emphasizes collaboration, hope, and pragmatic steps toward change, encouraging people to define their own priorities and move at a pace that feels manageable.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Emily blends Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that aim to help clients notice inner parts and compassionate self-leadership, and to clarify values while building committed actions. Internal Family Systems helps people recognize and relate to different internal states that influence behavior and emotion, which can be useful for trauma, dissociation, and complicated emotional patterns. ACT focuses on cultivating acceptance of difficult experiences and identifying valued directions, which supports work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to explore which methods feel most helpful and to adjust techniques based on individual goals and preferences. Emily emphasizes a person-centered, trauma-informed stance to create goals together and to select strategies that fit the client’s pace and needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals, attend sessions from varied locations, and maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday responsibilities.
