Nicole Hubbs , LMFT

Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota with 15 years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, open-minded presence to sessions and aims to make therapy feel manageable for people who are nervous or unsure about starting. Nicole focuses on practical steps clients can take while listening closely to each person's story.

Nicole sees many common concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and ADHD. She also works with parenting and family-related worries, grief, intimacy issues, body image and eating concerns, and relationship struggles. Clients often seek help for career stress, sleep and anger problems, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is collaborative and person-centered. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method inform how she addresses relationship patterns and emotional connection.

Nicole tailors plans to each person's needs rather than following a single script. Sessions may include practical exercises, communication coaching, and gentle reflection about values and purpose. She aims to make progress feel doable between appointments.

People who work with Nicole can expect a steady, respectful style. She emphasizes listening, empathy, and clear action steps. Her work is rooted in helping people find better ways to manage feelings and improve daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Nicole often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people identify their own goals. This approach emphasizes empathy and respect while people work through feelings and decide what matters to them.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and try simple behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress through practical exercises and experiments.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs her work with relationships and intimacy concerns by helping people notice emotional patterns and deepen connection. EFT can be helpful when communication and attachment get in the way of closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicole collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She regularly checks in and adjusts the plan based on what is working.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions can fit into a short break, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging helps when someone prefers writing over talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting sessions into a daily routine.
