About Yvette

Yvette Skope is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing on the Big Island of Hawaii. She brings six years of clinical experience working with youths and families in intensive in-home settings and prior experience in adult mental health where therapy and case management were combined.

Background and approach

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related matters, ADHD, and numerous other challenges such as parenting, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her approach blends client-centered care with practical, evidence-informed methods.

She draws from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method while integrating narrative, structural, and solution-focused ideas when helpful. Yvette also uses shadow work and inner child approaches and has training in grief work, Internal Family Systems, and sand tray techniques.

She aims to create a space where people feel heard and supported as they explore intentions for change and navigate life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Yvette relies on a blend of client-centered work and structured skill-building approaches to support change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are, listening carefully, and fostering an empathetic environment so clients can explore their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and adjusting patterns of thought and behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to develop practical coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds a focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client assess needs, preferences, and goals together and may combine elements from different methods to form a personalized plan. This partnership allows adjustments over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it possible to schedule sessions around daily life, maintain continuity while traveling or living in different parts of Hawaii, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote formats to support skill-building, emotional processing, and practical problem-solving.
