About Yvette
Yvette Skope is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with adults on issues like trauma, grief, addictions, self-esteem, and parenting concerns. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at making small changes that add up over time.
She brings six years of experience from Intensive In-Home Services and adult mental health work. That background means she is used to mixing therapy with real-life problem solving and practical supports.
Background and approach
She meets people where they are and helps them take the next manageable step. In session she draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive and behavioral ideas. She also uses dialectical skills and emotionally focused ways of working for relational issues.
These methods are used to help people change unhelpful patterns and improve communication. Yvette also integrates narrative work, structural ideas, and techniques that look at early life patterns such as inner child and shadow work. Those tools can be useful for people who want to understand and shift long-standing patterns tied to abandonment, attachment, or identity concerns.
She holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Hawaii at Hilo and a master's degree in family therapy from Argosy University. Yvette practices in Hawaii and offers sessions in English. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on her availability.

How Yvette's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. Online sessions use that same stance to help people feel heard and to build goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting thought and behavior patterns and practicing new responses; online appointments are used to teach and rehearse those skills between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be shared via video or text and practiced during daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients have an active role in deciding whether to focus on skills, emotions, or relationship patterns as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer flexibility for varied needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, skill coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping therapy consistent.
