About Nicole
Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Nicole takes a direct, compassionate approach and aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried parents and individuals.
Nicole draws on many clinical methods to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered work to build trust and help people feel heard.
Background and approach
She often incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally focused and relational methods guide work on connection, communication, and intimacy issues. Her background includes long-term work with children and adolescents in schools as well as adults and family systems in clinical settings.
That experience informs practical strategies for sleep, eating, attention, mood, and behavioral concerns. Nicole also addresses addiction, grief, trauma, body image, and identity matters in therapy. Sessions are tailored to the person’s goals and situation.
Nicole listens first, then co-creates a plan with clear, achievable steps. She aims for straightforward language so parents and individuals can use what they learn between sessions. People who choose her tend to want warm, steady guidance and hands-on tools.
Nicole helps clients make small, realistic changes that add up to better daily functioning and calmer family life.
Working with relationship and thought-focused approaches online
Nicole often uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, accepting space where people can talk through worries and decide on goals. This approach helps with general stress, self-esteem, and parenting concerns by centering the person’s experience and priorities.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting and changing thinking patterns that increase anxiety and low mood. CBT gives concrete skills for sleep, worry, eating behaviors, and managing attention and mood shifts.
Emotionally focused and relational work is part of her practice when relationship patterns or intimacy issues are central. That work helps people notice interaction cycles and practice different ways of connecting and communicating.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try techniques, and adjust over time so the work fits your needs and preferences. Clients help choose what feels most useful and what to try next.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or short coaching-style guidance between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
