About Nicole

Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota with 15 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has supported clients across a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family challenges, ADHD, bipolar disorder, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and various personality and attachment difficulties.

Her background includes work with children and adolescents in school settings as well as adults and families in clinical environments, which informs a flexible approach to different developmental needs. Nicole favors an open, curious, and empathic stance that aims to reduce the discomfort clients can feel when starting therapy.

She blends evidence-informed methods such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered techniques, and existential ideas to tailor treatment plans to each person’s situation. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, individualized goals, and practical strategies to address communication, coping, self-esteem, and complex co-occurring issues.

Nicole frames seeking help as an act of courage and works alongside clients as they pursue meaningful change.

How Nicole’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people explore parts of themselves that hold distinct feelings and roles, such as protectors or vulnerable parts, and can be useful for trauma, self-criticism, and internal conflict. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance that supports self-exploration and emotional growth in a collaborative relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, mood symptoms, and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to determine which methods or combination of methods best match the person’s goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and will adjust the plan over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it possible to maintain continuity of care around work, school, and family commitments. These formats support ongoing practice of skills learned in sessions and can make regular engagement with a licensed professional more accessible for people with varied schedules and life demands.
