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 struggles such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, and problems with intimacy and self-esteem. She also works with addiction, ADHD, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Emily uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In practice she keeps things person-centered and trauma-informed. That means she listens for what matters most to the person in front of her and helps them build practical ways to manage emotions and day-to-day challenges.

Her background includes a strong focus on trauma and attachment issues. She also addresses grief, parenting stress, relationship and communication problems, and body image or identity concerns. Emily integrates skills from several approaches to support coping, reduce distress, and clarify personal goals.

Sessions typically look like straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and learning small skills to use between meetings. She can guide people through adjustments after major life changes, navigate complicated losses, and work on rebuilding trust and intimacy difficulties.

Emily asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Emotion-Focused and CBT work well online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions and attachment-related patterns. It is often used when feelings are hard to identify or when emotional reactions repeat in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills for change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice inner experiences while choosing actions that match their values and goals.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which combination of EFT, CBT, or ACT fits their needs and preferences. That decision is revisited as therapy continues so methods can be adjusted based on what helps.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also make shorter, skills-focused meetings or regular weekly sessions more convenient for people juggling work, caregiving, or study. Licensed professionals can discuss which arrangements best fit a person's schedule and goals during the initial matching process.
