About Brenda
Brenda Hubbard is a Colorado licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression. Brenda also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, substance concerns, family problems, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Brenda focuses on straightforward conversation about what is causing pain and what the person wants to change. She uses clear, practical skills from approaches like cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-focused strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Sessions are structured around real-life steps rather than jargon or abstract theories.
Her style draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Dialectical and client-centered methods help calm intense emotions and build better ways to handle them. EMDR is listed among her approaches and can be part of trauma-focused work if appropriate for the person.
Brenda aims to make the work collaborative. She listens for what matters most to the client and helps translate that into small, manageable goals. Conversations cover how guilt or shame shows up day to day, how it affects behavior, and what practical changes might reduce its hold.
People who choose Brenda typically want clear, actionable steps and a clinician who explains methods plainly. She works in English and practices in Colorado as an LCSW, CSW.
How her approaches translate to online work
Brenda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and choose values-based actions rather than getting stuck in rumination. This approach can be useful for guilt and shame because it focuses on moving toward what matters even when uncomfortable feelings remain.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioral changes. CBT offers concrete exercises people can practice between sessions, which works well in remote formats. Attachment-informed work is used to understand how past relationships influence current reactions and to develop new ways of relating and managing emotion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brenda collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their issues, goals, and preferences. She will help choose practical tools from different approaches rather than relying on a single method.
