About Connie
Connie Hobbs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with ADHD, eating concerns, anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Connie practices from Florida and brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work.
Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than labels. Connie adapts therapy to each person and uses clear strategies to address immediate problems and long-term goals.
Background and approach
Connie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings about change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set concrete goals and build small, useful habits.
She has two master’s degrees from Stetson University, one in Counselor Education and one in Mental Health. Over a dozen years in counseling have included work with adoption, foster care, autism, and substance use concerns. That background informs practical planning and steady support during change.
In sessions she aims for empathy, respect, and collaboration. Conversations are tailored to what each person needs that day. Connie encourages realistic steps so progress feels doable and focused.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Connie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on small, concrete changes. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation without pressure, which is helpful for substance use and ambivalence about new habits.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. If an approach isn’t working, she collaborates on adjustments and keeps the focus on practical progress.
Online therapy can make scheduling easier and fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that connection helps. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people who prefer written check-ins or need support between sessions.
