Nicole Hubbs, LMFT

Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked across school and clinical settings with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Nicole focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, including concerns often tied to midlife changes.

She approaches each person with curiosity and a nonjudgmental attitude. Sessions aim to reduce the unease many people feel about starting therapy by prioritizing listening, empathy, and straightforward conversation. Nicole emphasizes that reaching out takes courage and is a strong first step toward change.

Nicole uses individualized treatment plans rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. She pulls from client-centered methods and evidence-based techniques to match interventions to a person’s needs. Practical goals and measurable steps are part of how she structures work in therapy.

Her background includes several years supporting children and teens in schools and longer-term practice with adults and families. That breadth gives her experience with a wide range of concerns, from parenting and family stress to mood and attention difficulties.

People come to Nicole for help with relationships, coping skills, grief, addiction, eating and sleep problems, and identity concerns. She also works with people facing communication struggles, attachment questions, and issues tied to self-esteem. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, helping people move toward clearer choices and daily routines that feel more manageable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and following the person’s lead to build trust and clarity; online sessions can preserve that conversational, accepting stance to help people sort through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments. In remote sessions this often means setting clear, doable homework and reviewing results together to track progress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift emotional patterns that affect relationships and closeness. Online meetings can be used to practice new ways of communicating and to reflect on emotional responses in real time.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Nicole will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in often and adapting techniques as needs change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are determined by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people share real-life examples from their own routines so strategies are practical and immediate.
