About Nicole
Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota with 15 years of clinical experience. She began her career working in schools with children and adolescents and later expanded to support adults in clinical settings. Nicole focuses on clear, practical help for everyday problems and major life changes.
She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency. She also supports people facing ADHD, bipolar challenges, body image and eating concerns, and trauma-related symptoms. Nicole aims to meet each person where they are and reduce the worry that often comes with starting therapy.
Nicole keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate. She listens first, then helps people identify small, manageable steps they can take. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual and can combine different approaches depending on the problem and the person’s goals.
She draws on client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to help people feel heard and to improve connections with others. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and develop new coping habits. Nicole also uses elements from existential and systems-based approaches when those perspectives fit the work.
Her style is open-minded and curious rather than directive. She names patterns, offers practical strategies, and supports gradual change. To begin, Nicole asks people to describe their main concern, then she collaborates on a plan that fits their life and priorities.
Approaches that guide online sessions and practical fit
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so people feel heard and safe to talk about hard things. It helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings and make decisions without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and teaches concrete tools to change behavior and reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. It works well for stress, sleep problems, and managing mood shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and then use that awareness to improve relationships and closeness.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there, she will suggest methods to try and adjust them as needed so the work fits the person’s life.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use visual tools and worksheets during sessions and move more quickly from insight to practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
