About Yvette
Yvette Skope is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with six years of clinical experience based in Hawaii. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and a wide range of other life challenges. Yvette works in a straightforward, person-focused way that aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to daily life.
She takes an eclectic approach and draws on Jungian ideas about inner meaning alongside client-centered methods that start where a person is.
Background and approach
Cognitive techniques and emotion-focused strategies are used when they fit the situation. Sessions may include exploring personal narratives, shadow work, and inner child themes to better understand difficult patterns. Yvette’s background includes work in intensive in-home services with youth and families and prior roles in adult mental health combining therapy and case management.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Hawaii at Hilo and a Master’s in Family Therapy from Argosy University, and is licensed as an LMFT in Hawaii. In sessions she emphasizes honest intentions and listening first. She aims to provide a calm space where people can tell their story, try small changes, and see how new choices feel.
Yvette blends practical skills with deeper reflective work to address symptoms and underlying dynamics. Her practice also integrates training in cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, grief and loss work, internal family systems ideas, and sand tray methods. This mix helps shape individualized plans that match each person’s goals and pace.

Online support
How Jungian and Practical Methods Work Online
Jungian-informed work looks at personal symbols, dreams, and inner themes to help people find meaning and new directions. This approach can be useful for exploring long-standing patterns, identity questions, and issues that connect to deeper life stories.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are. It emphasizes respect, validation, and building a trusting connection so people can try changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, adds practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that maintain distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining reflective Jungian work with client-centered listening and CBT skill-building to address both meaning and symptoms.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving schedule, or life in Hawaii while still working with licensed professionals.
