    About Connie

    Connie Hobbs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, eating concerns, and the strain of caregiving. Connie writes simply and listens with warmth and patience to understand what matters most to each person.

    She brings 12 years of counseling experience and two master’s degrees from Stetson University, one in Counselor Education and one in Mental Health. Her work has included people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and drug and alcohol addiction. Connie prefers an interactive, respectful style and avoids stigmatizing labels.

    Her approach mixes practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation rather than using a single formula. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps toward change.

    Connie emphasizes a collaborative relationship where the person’s goals guide the work. She aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful, with straightforward feedback and tools people can try between sessions. Her manner is compassionate and down-to-earth, helping people move toward healthier routines and clearer choices.

    People who choose to work with her often want practical strategies and steady support while navigating life transitions, recovery, or parenting stress. She invites clients to take the first step and work together toward realistic, achievable change.

  2. How Connie Uses Approaches Online

    Connie often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. This approach is useful for issues like addiction, low motivation, or big life transitions where deciding to change is hard.

    She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting over time if something isn’t helping. The process is flexible and goal-focused rather than fixed.

    Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, letting people schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and avoid travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and pace to what works best for each person.
