Yvette Skope, LMFT

Yvette Skope is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, anger, grief, and related concerns. Yvette also helps with parenting challenges, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, career questions, and self-esteem struggles.

Her background includes work in Intensive In Home Services supporting youths and families, and prior roles in adult mental health that combined therapy and case management. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from University of Hawaii at Hilo and a Master of Family Therapy from Argosy University, and she practices as an LMFT in Hawaii.

In session she draws on several therapy approaches and mixes them to fit what a person needs. That can mean talking through current problems with Client-Centered methods, using skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change patterns, or drawing on Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for emotion regulation. She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas and elements of the Gottman Method when relationships are central to the work.

Yvette often uses narrative-based work such as exploring personal stories, shadow work, and inner child techniques to address long-standing patterns. She aims to help people notice the stories that shape their behavior and practice different responses. Practical skill building and short-term problem solving appear alongside deeper exploration.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. People are invited to name their goals and try concrete strategies in weekly sessions. Booking begins by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
