About Connie

Connie Hobbs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps parents and caregivers manage common family and parenting concerns. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and parenting challenges. Her tone is warm and respectful and she aims to make conversations straightforward and practical.

Connie uses clear, interactive dialogue during sessions. She adapts strategies to each person rather than following one fixed method.

Background and approach

Parents and guardians can expect direct tools for coping, communication techniques for family life, and step-by-step plans for short-term goals. She brings 12 years of counseling experience and has two master's degrees from Stetson University, one in Counselor Education and one in Mental Health.

That training, along with hands-on work with children, teens, and adults, informs her approach to adoption and foster care topics, autism, ADHD, and substance-related concerns. Her therapeutic style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused methods, and Trauma-Focused work. Sessions focus on practical changes, building motivation, and addressing past hurts when relevant.

Conversations are paced to each family's needs. Connie aims to treat people with respect and without stigmatizing labels. She works to create a safe space where parents can talk through real-life problems, learn skills, and take small steps toward better routines and relationships.

Practical approaches for parenting and healing online

Connie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and builds motivation for steps like addressing addiction or improving parenting routines.

She treats choice of method as a team decision. During the first sessions she will talk with each person or parent about goals, habits, and what feels most useful. Then she and the client pick or combine approaches that fit their needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy family life. These formats allow for flexible scheduling and repeated check-ins between live sessions when needed. Many parents find that being able to connect from home helps them try new strategies and keep progress moving forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
