About Hope
Hope Scoles is a Minnesota psychologist with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are grieving, coping with major life changes, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and depression. Her work also includes support for stress, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, addictions, and career or parenting concerns.
She takes a strengths-based approach and treats clients as the experts in their own lives. Sessions focus on building practical skills. Hope guides conversations so people can find what works for them day to day.
Background and approach
Hope draws on approaches that include Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage overwhelming emotions and get steadier in daily life. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand different parts of themselves. Her style is direct but compassionate.
She helps clients try small changes, practice new skills, and notice what shifts. Many people come for help with grief, stress, or transitions and leave with clearer routines and coping tools. Hope offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for ongoing care.
People who want to start can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches for online work and coping skills
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching concrete skills to manage intense emotions and reduce reactive behavior. It can help people who feel overwhelmed by mood swings, anxiety, or impulsive actions. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them, which supports better focus and calmer responses in daily life.Finding which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so work feels useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from home or work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins or brief coaching between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and stay consistent with skill practice.
