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, curious presence to sessions and aims to make beginning therapy feel less overwhelming. Nicole meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps toward change.
She often helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also supports concerns around parenting, family dynamics, relationship struggles, and issues tied to identity and sexual orientation.
Background and approach
Nicole has experience addressing attention differences, eating and sleeping problems, addiction, and mood disorders among other challenges. Nicole draws from several approaches to shape treatment plans that fit each person. She uses client-centered ways of listening closely, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address feelings in relationships, and the Gottman Method for relationship skills work when relevant.
She adapts techniques to the situation and the person she is working with. Her style is straightforward and empathetic. Sessions focus on concrete tools - communication practice, coping strategies, and small skill-building steps - alongside time to process emotions and meaning.
Nicole tries to be nonjudgmental and curious about each person's story. People who prefer practical guidance plus emotional support may find her approach helpful. She works with adults and has past experience in school-based settings with children and adolescents, bringing that background into clinical work when appropriate.

Online support
How Nicole’s Approaches Work Online
Nicole commonly uses the Gottman Method to help people build communication skills and manage relationship conflicts; that approach emphasizes practical exercises and clear skill practice. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and understanding the person's experience to guide goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Figuring out the best approach is part of the work. Nicole treats choice of method as collaborative - she will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That way the treatment evolves with the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching, or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options allow flexible scheduling and make it easier to fit therapy into busy life routines.
