About Connie
Connie Hobbs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and problems with self-esteem. Connie also supports those navigating parenting challenges, ADHD, eating concerns, and adoption or foster care issues.
She brings 12 years of counseling experience to her work and holds two master's degrees from Stetson University in Counselor Education and Mental Health. Connie describes her style as warm, friendly, and interactive.
Background and approach
She focuses on respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. Connie uses a flexible approach rather than a single method. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing, plus solution-focused and trauma-focused work when helpful.
This lets her match the work to what each person needs and wants to achieve. In a typical session she listens closely, helps people set clear goals, and suggests practical steps to try between meetings. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works to make the conversation collaborative and productive.
The pace and focus are shaped by each person’s situation. Connie has experience with clients who have struggled with substance use and related issues, and she brings that background into conversations about recovery and motivation. Her aim is to help people find small, achievable changes that add up to better coping and more confidence.
She welcomes people who are ready to take steps toward change and offers straightforward guidance on next steps. Sessions use clear goals and ongoing check-ins to measure progress.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Connie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Sessions focus on identifying specific patterns, practicing new skills, and testing small changes in daily life.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation for steps such as reducing substance use or improving self-care. That approach centers on gentle conversation to strengthen commitment and find personally meaningful goals.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will pick or adapt methods so the work feels useful and realistic for the person’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people read facial cues and have a closer conversational feel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are useful for quick reflections, ongoing check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
Overall, online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver focused skill practice, motivational support, and problem-solving in a flexible way.
