Connie Hobbs

Connie Hobbs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people face concerns like stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and offers a warm, interactive approach designed to make difficult conversations easier to start. Her style aims to treat each person with respect and compassion without labels. Connie has worked in counseling for 12 years and holds two master’s degrees from Stetson University - one in Counselor Education and one in Mental Health. She has supported people dealing with depression, parenting challenges, ADHD, adoption and foster care issues, eating problems, and substance-related concerns. Her background includes work with a broad range of ages and settings. Her way of working draws on cognitive behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work. She adapts the approach to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. Conversations and practical steps are used to build a plan that fits the person’s life. Sessions focus on clear goals and useful tools. People can expect to talk through current problems, try small behavior changes, and track progress over time. Connie emphasizes collaboration and adjusting the plan as needs shift. Seeking help takes courage, and Connie aims to support each person at their own pace. To begin, she asks people to share their goals and concerns so a tailored plan can be created together.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Connie uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Motivational interviewing is used to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by exploring their reasons and building motivation together. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which method fits their goals and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan as needed. Confirm the session formats before booking to know what options are currently offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time, and keep continuity when life gets hectic. It can also allow shorter check-ins or options that reduce the need for long commutes. Licensed professionals can adapt worksheets, goal tracking, and behavioral experiments to an online setting so progress continues between sessions.
