About Nicole
Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Minnesota with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping parents and individuals manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Nicole uses a calm, straightforward style and meets people where they are without judgment.
She spent many years working in school settings with children and adolescents and has also supported adults in clinical environments. That mix of experience informs her practical approach to common family and parenting problems, grief, trauma, and mood concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on real-life changes. Nicole draws on several approaches to shape individualized treatment plans. She often uses Client-Centered techniques to build trust and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Emotionally-Focused work and elements of the Gottman Method guide her work around relationships and communication. Parents often find her helpful for issues like sleep or eating struggles, behavioral concerns, boundary setting, and managing caregiver stress. She also supports people facing addictions, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and grief while attending to attachment and identity questions when they arise.
Nicole keeps plans practical and tailored. She listens first, then collaborates on steps that fit a family's routine and a parent’s day-to-day life. Sessions can include skill-building, problem-solving, and strategies to improve communication and coping.
Her tone is warm and direct, aiming to reduce the uncertainty many people feel when starting therapy. Nicole encourages small, steady changes and helps clients track progress toward goals.

How Nicole’s Approaches Translate to Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and building a trusting relationship, which helps people feel heard and understood when they bring parenting worries, grief, or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and ADHD-related routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She often blends techniques so sessions stay practical and relevant, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms and needs. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, phone can be a simpler option that uses less bandwidth, and brief chats or texts work for quick check-ins and between-session support. These options make it easier to use therapy around school schedules, work breaks, or caregiving duties.
