About Connie
Connie Hobbs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, parenting problems, and adoption and foster care matters. She has 12 years of experience and a warm, interactive style that aims to put people at ease. Connie treats the person, not a label, and works to create a respectful, compassionate space for change.
She holds two master’s degrees from Stetson University in Counselor Education and in Mental Health. Connie combines that academic background with years of practical work to shape each session. Conversations are tailored to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed formula.
Connie draws from several practical approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused work. Sessions often focus on concrete steps, small experiments, and skills people can use between meetings to feel better and cope with daily demands.
Many people find her style direct but gentle, with an emphasis on collaboration and real-world strategies. She avoids stigmatizing language and aims to help clients build on their strengths while addressing specific concerns like ADHD, eating struggles, anger, or depression.
If someone is ready to start, Connie asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability. The process is built so that the plan changes as needs change, and sessions are adjusted to fit each person’s goals and circumstances.
How Connie's Approaches Translate to Online Care
Connie uses cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing in ways that fit well with remote work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on noticing thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression, and they often include simple at-home exercises and structured check-ins. Motivational interviewing centers on building a person's own reasons for change, using open questions and reflective listening to increase motivation for things like reducing substance use or improving self-care.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Connie works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans over time based on progress and feedback. That collaborative process helps keep sessions focused and practical.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people appreciate the convenience of online work for fitting therapy into busy schedules, keeping sessions shorter when needed, and doing exercises between meetings. Online sessions can make it easier to follow through on homework, check progress more often, and layer therapeutic steps into everyday life.
