Monique Trump Snelson, LMFT

Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and address relationship and self-esteem struggles. Monique uses straightforward tools people can practice between sessions to make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

She draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to help clients understand patterns in close relationships. Sessions emphasize clear communication skills and building self-compassion. Practical coping strategies are paired with reflection about past family experiences when that is helpful.

Monique has eight years of clinical experience and works with concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses career stress, anger, and issues related to adoption, blended families, and family of origin. Her scope includes ADHD and body image concerns among other focused areas.

Therapy sessions blend evidence-informed techniques with an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance. Monique helps people set small, doable goals and practices for change. She aims to make progress feel tangible rather than abstract.

People meet with her for a mix of short-term problem solving and longer-term work on patterns that cause repeated pain. She speaks English and provides services from Michigan. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

To begin, prospective clients complete an intake matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Payments are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How CBT and Attachment Work Online

Monique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT breaks problems into smaller steps, so clients can try simple experiments between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage anger.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that develop in close relationships. That approach helps people recognize how early experiences influence today's reactions and then practice different ways of connecting and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT exercises with attachment-focused reflection or using client-centered talk to prioritize what feels most urgent.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins and ongoing coaching easier between longer appointments. These options help people maintain consistency and fit therapy into busy lives.
