About Connie
Connie Hobbs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work.
Background and approach
She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, family issues, eating concerns, parenting, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, as well as adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, and drug and alcohol addiction.
Her background includes two master’s degrees from Stetson University in Counselor Education and Mental Health, which she combines with lived experience to inform her clinical perspective. Connie’s manner is described as warm, friendly, and interactive; she aims to meet clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.
Her approach is intentionally flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused and trauma-focused techniques to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs.
Clients can expect an emphasis on collaboration and empowerment as they work toward clearer goals and more manageable daily functioning. Connie welcomes those who are ready to make changes and prefers to use the therapeutic relationship as the vehicle for progress.
She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
Working with evidence-based approaches in online therapy
Connie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach often focuses on practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address habits related to addictions. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing, a client-centered method that explores ambivalence and supports motivation for change, which can be especially useful for substance use, behavior change, and readiness to pursue new goals.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Connie will work with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and life context and then adapt methods so that treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single protocol. Together the client and therapist review progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how people engage in therapy. These options make it easier to access care from different locations in Florida and to fit sessions into busy schedules, allowing clients to continue work on skills and goals between in-person obligations.
