About Yvette

Yvette Skope is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based on the Big Island of Hawaii. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, and a wide range of life challenges. Her approach aims to create a calm space where someone can tell their story and begin making practical changes.

She draws from several therapeutic perspectives and mixes them to fit the person in front of her. Sessions often center on the person's goals and current needs, with the therapist meeting them where they are. Techniques described in her background include Client-Centered work and inner child or shadow-focused exercises.

Yvette has six years of clinical experience working in intensive in-home services with youth and families and earlier roles in adult mental health that combined therapy and case management. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Hawai'i at Hilo and a Master of Family Therapy from Argosy University, and she practices as an LMFT in Hawaii.

In sessions she may use elements of Solution Focused, Structural, Narrative, and Collaborative approaches to help people reframe old stories and try new ways of relating. She also uses parts-based and experiential techniques to explore past hurts and current patterns. The focus is practical - small, sustainable steps toward clearer communication and steadier mood.

People who choose her work often find a therapist who listens, reflects back concerns, and helps develop concrete strategies. Those interested in scheduling are asked to follow the platform's start steps to set up an initial match and appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person brings, helping them feel understood and encouraging their own problem solving; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful cycles; it can help with mood, sleep, and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for relationship and anger challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Sessions can combine elements of different approaches as needed, and the plan can be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help many people sustain work on depression, anxiety, relationships, and other concerns while arranging therapy around everyday life rather than the other way around.
