Connie Hobbs

Connie Hobbs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, and the strain of major life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, eating issues, compassion fatigue, and adoption or foster care concerns. Her tone is warm and approachable and she aims to make therapy a direct, respectful experience.

She holds two master’s degrees from Stetson University, one in Counselor Education and one in Mental Health. Over 12 years in the field inform her work with adults, teens, and children. Connie believes education plus life experience make for a more empathic clinician.

Her sessions are interactive and collaborative. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on clear, practical steps people can try between meetings. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and paced to match what feels manageable.

Connie draws on several proven methods when they fit the person and the problem. She blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas, and she brings trauma-focused approaches when past events are central to the difficulty.

She encourages small, steady changes and works with people to set realistic goals. If someone is ready to make a change, Connie aims to support and empower them through the process.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Connie commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change patterns that keep problems going.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who are unsure about change. That approach centers on the person’s own reasons for change and can be useful for addiction concerns, health goals, and any situation where motivation waxes and wanes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Connie will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then suggest methods that seem to fit. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts plans as needs change.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing check-ins during breaks. Different approaches can be adapted for remote meetings, and therapists can focus on short skill practice, written worksheets, or conversational coaching to match each person’s routine.
