About Connie

Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience, Connie Hobbs helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports concerns tied to parenting, eating, ADHD, adoption and foster care, autism, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are described as interactive and respectful, with an emphasis on practical steps rather than labels.

Connie holds two master’s degrees from Stetson University, one in Counselor Education and one in Mental Health. She has worked with adults, teens, and children across a variety of settings. Her background includes years of direct counseling with people facing addiction and trauma-related concerns.

Her clinical approach mixes several practical methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational interviewing helps clients find internal reasons to change. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, short-term goals.

In sessions she aims for plain talk and a collaborative pace. Conversations focus on concrete skills and steps that fit the client’s life. She avoids stigmatizing labels and keeps the plan adaptable as needs shift.

Connie frames the therapeutic relationship as a working partnership. She uses education and real-life experience to guide interventions and supports parents and caregivers with direct, practical suggestions. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site flow to schedule a first visit.

How her approaches translate to online work

Connie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT sessions often involve simple exercises and homework to practice skills between meetings, which can fit well into weekly online check-ins.

She also uses motivational interviewing to draw out a person’s own reasons for change. That approach focuses on listening and short, goal-oriented conversations that can move progress forward in a few focused sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Connie works collaboratively to match methods to a client’s goals and preferences. She will review options and adjust the plan as needs change so the work stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let clients use video or phone in ways that suit their energy, bandwidth, and daily routines.
