About Hope
Hope Scoles is a Minnesota Psychologist (MN Psychologist LP0405) with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing grief, loss, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and codependency. She also helps people manage stress, life changes, and issues around parenting, career, and addictions.
Hope uses a strength-based approach that treats each person as the expert on their own life. She talks through practical skills for resilience and coping. Sessions include straightforward skill-building and problem-solving rather than long theoretical discussions.
For grief and loss she addresses the questions that come up about meaning and values, and she helps people find steady routines and supports. For anxiety and depression she works on skills to manage symptoms and on small changes that improve daily functioning. For relationship and codependency concerns she helps people notice patterns, set boundaries, and reclaim their own priorities.
Hope draws on methods such as dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and present-moment awareness. She also uses solution-focused techniques and parts work from internal family systems to help identify practical steps forward. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.
People who meet with Hope can expect clear, concrete suggestions and a focus on building everyday skills. To begin, a short intake process helps clarify goals and the first steps toward change.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Hope commonly uses dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. DBT focuses on building concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention to the present moment and simple practices to reduce reactivity and rumination.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Hope will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and what feels manageable. That conversation guides whether to emphasize skills practice, short solution-focused steps, or internal parts work.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone use phone-only meetings if video is difficult, or schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Hope and other licensed professionals typically adapt exercises and home practice so work can continue between meetings.
