About Nicole
Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Minnesota. She brings 15 years of experience and a calm, direct style to sessions.
Background and approach
Nicole aims to make therapy accessible and understandable for people under stress or facing big life changes. She listens first and asks clear questions to figure out what matters most.
Nicole uses straightforward tools to help with anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, grief, and sleep or eating concerns. She also helps people looking to sort out relationship or parenting struggles and to manage attention or mood differences like ADHD and bipolar disorder.
In sessions she blends practical strategies with attention to emotions. That might mean learning new thinking patterns, practicing better communication, or tracking patterns that keep problems repeating.
Nicole often draws on client-centered work to keep the focus on the person’s goals and values. She has extensive experience in schools with children and adolescents and in clinical settings with adults.
That background shapes her approach to younger clients and to parents seeking clearer ways to support children’s behavior and learning. Nicole structures treatment to fit each person.
Plans are simple and goal focused, with steps you can try between meetings. She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she supports people through setbacks as part of the process.
How Nicole’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work puts your goals and values at the center of therapy and prioritizes being heard. This approach helps people who want to clarify what matters to them and build confidence at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and respond to strong feelings, which can improve communication and intimacy in relationships. It is useful when emotional patterns keep repeating and cause distance or conflict.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. Goals are reviewed and adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit during a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy on track around daily life.
