About Nicole
Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota with 15 years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, straightforward style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes. Nicole works with adults and has a history supporting adolescents in school settings earlier in her career.
Nicole keeps sessions simple and practical. She listens without judgment and asks clear questions to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She aims to reduce the worry that can come with starting therapy and helps clients break problems into small, manageable steps. Treatment is tailored to the person. Nicole draws on client-centered methods and tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
For relationship or attachment concerns she can use emotionally-focused and Gottman-informed ideas to improve communication and connection. Nicole also supports people facing grief, parenting stress, addiction concerns, body image struggles, and the ups and downs of mood and attention differences. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns and helps clients practice new ways of coping.
Her approach is collaborative. Nicole and the client set goals together, try practical strategies between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful from the first few meetings.

Practical approaches for online therapy and connection
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions around what matters most to them, which is useful when sorting out stress, self-esteem, and life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, anger, sleep, and mood symptoms.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotions and attachment-related patterns in relationships. It can help people improve communication and rebuild closeness when emotions or past hurts get in the way.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. Plans can change over time based on what is most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for more in-depth sessions and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can serve as brief check-ins or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
