Yvette Skope, LMFT

Yvette Skope is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii with six years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports those managing sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered approaches and skills-based methods. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying small behavior changes, and tracking what helps in daily life. She mixes structured tools with conversational problem-solving to make progress practical and concrete.

Yvette trained with a Bachelor of Psychology from UH Hilo and a Master of Family Therapy from Argosy University. She holds the Hawaii LMFT credential and has experience in intensive in-home services and adult mental health settings. Those roles involved therapy combined with case management and hands-on family work.

In sessions she may introduce techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method when they fit the goals. She also has exposure to cognitive behavioral work, Internal Family Systems, grief and loss work, and sand tray methods from practicum and training experiences.

Her approach is straightforward. She listens, identifies patterns that keep problems going, and suggests clear skills to practice between meetings. People who want concrete steps to change thinking, behavior, or relationship habits will find a practical focus in sessions.
