About Nicole

Nicole Hubbs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota. She brings 15 years of experience working in schools with children and adolescents and in clinical settings with adults. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel less uncomfortable by offering listening, empathy, and steady support.

Nicole keeps an open, curious approach when meeting someone new. She asks questions and listens carefully to understand each person's story before suggesting a path forward. Treatment plans are created to match what a person wants to work on and to fit their daily life.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy struggles, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career stress, ADHD, and self-esteem. She also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and disruptive mood symptoms.

Nicole draws from several approaches in therapy. She commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential ideas to help people better understand their feelings and make concrete changes. She mixes tools from these approaches to match a person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, practical steps to try between sessions, and a calm presence during harder moments. She works in English and practices in Minnesota.

How Trauma-Focused and Talk-Based Approaches Work Online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name and process difficult events and the feelings that follow. It often includes paced, practical steps to reduce distress and build skills for managing strong emotions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the person's lead to build trust and clarity over time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to develop new, healthier behaviors for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the person's situation. Adjustments are made as needed so the approach stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue work between in-person visits. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking to know what will work best.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
