About Connie
Connie Hobbs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges. She speaks English and draws on 12 years of counseling experience to support people navigating trauma, coping with life changes, ADHD, and issues related to adoption and foster care. Connie keeps sessions warm and interactive.
She places respect, sensitivity, and compassion at the center of her work and avoids stigmatizing labels.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative - she listens first and tailors the plan to each person’s situation. She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral work to help people change patterns of thinking and behavior. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change and needs support finding their own reasons to move forward.
Solution-focused techniques keep conversations goal-oriented and focused on what’s working. Connie has two master’s degrees from Stetson University, one in counselor education and one in mental health, and she has spent over a decade working across a range of concerns and ages. That background informs how she adapts methods to fit different needs and life stages.
In sessions she will work with each person to set clear, realistic goals and check progress along the way. Conversations are practical and grounded, with tools you can try between sessions. Connie aims to help people build coping skills, restore daily routines, and find more balance in family and parenting roles.

Practical approaches for online parenting and life support
Connie commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and the everyday habits that affect parenting and family routines. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change; it focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for moving forward and building motivation at their pace.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Connie will work with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and have deeper conversations, phone can fit into a lunch break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy parenting schedules and life demands.
