About Nicole
Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked across settings that include school-based services for children and adolescents as well as outpatient clinical work with adults and families.
Background and approach
Her background includes addressing a broad range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and parenting and family dynamics. Nicole approaches therapy with compassion, curiosity, and a nonjudgmental stance, aiming to create an atmosphere where clients feel heard and understood.
She tailors treatment plans to each person’s unique needs and often integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and emotionally focused strategies. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify practical steps and coping skills while exploring patterns that affect relationships, mood, and daily functioning.
Clients seeking help with communication problems, self-esteem, career stress, eating or sleeping concerns, or attachment and personality-related issues will find a clinician who combines clinical knowledge with genuine empathy. Nicole values the courage it takes to reach out and works with people to build momentum for meaningful change over time.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Nicole commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people explore and express underlying emotions that shape relationship patterns, which can be useful for improving communication, attachment, and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicole collaborates with clients to identify which methods best match their goals and preferences. She blends techniques when appropriate and encourages open discussion about what feels most helpful so that treatment is tailored over time in partnership with the client.
Online therapy with Nicole is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult and allow clients to access therapy from home or other convenient locations. Together, these approaches and formats support practical skill-building, self-reflection, and relationship work delivered in ways that fit a client's life.
