Nicole Hubbs , LMFT

Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota with 15 years of clinical experience. She has served children and adolescents ages 5 to 18 in school-based settings and has worked with adults and families in outpatient clinical environments. Her work spans a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, social challenges, trauma, gender identity concerns, grief and loss, behavioral difficulties, relationship and parenting problems, addiction, suicidality, communication barriers, eating disorders, cognitive distortions, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem and social connection.

Nicole approaches each person with an open mind, genuine curiosity, and a nonjudgmental stance, aiming to reduce the discomfort and uncertainty that often accompany the start of therapy. She emphasizes compassion, attentive listening, and empathy while recognizing the strength it takes to seek help and pursue change. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual or family, combining multiple methods to meet each client’s needs. Her work draws from humanistic and person-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative and solution-focused strategies, and family systems and structural approaches.

She emphasizes collaborative, individualized care designed to address the specific issues a person or family wants to change and to support practical steps toward healthier functioning.

Approach-driven care available through online sessions

Nicole Hubbs uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and building on their strengths to address challenges such as self-esteem, identity concerns, and relationship difficulties.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it is often effective for anxiety, depression, coping with change, and habit-related concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another approach Nicole draws on for relational work. EFT concentrates on emotions and connection within close relationships, helping partners or family members improve communication, rebuild trust, and manage attachment-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicole works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and allow licensed professionals to provide continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible.
