Licensed Independent Social Worker

Macie Hobbs, LISW

My philosophy for therapy is “you only get out of it what you put into it” so if you are open to talking through life stressors while utilizing helpful skills and tools, I am the therapist for you!

As a therapist, I want to empower my clients to be the best version of themselves, while also showing love and compassion for their flaws, because hey, we’re all human! I enjoy being a therapist because life is a rollercoaster and we have to learn to ride the ups and downs of life it is okay to have someone there to help us along the ride.

I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) through the State of Ohio. I graduated from Wright State University with my Bachelor’s in Social Work in 2018 and my Master’s in Social Work in 2020. I have been working as an individual counseling therapist, whether it be in internships or past jobs, since 2019. I have worked with a wide range of adults ages, starting at 18 to 75. I have worked with an array of life challenges such as life transitions and changes (starting/ending college, gender-affirming changes, career moves, grief, new relationships, etc.), as well as positively managing mental health struggles.

My treatment approach utilizes Person-centered, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, and Strength Based modalities. I enjoy working with young adults (or older) dealing with life challenges including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, LGBTQIA+ and gender issues, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, current or past trauma, grief, self-compassion, and being an overall great advocate for yourself whether that be in your work, home, or in relationships. I like to use creative tools to help aid the treatment process, such as art, music, and writing.

I’m accepting new clients at two locations: Dayton – CCBT (ccbtcolumbus.com) and Mason – CCPC (www.ccpc-ohio.com), so if you are interested in starting this journey together, give us a call!
