About Monique

Monique Trump Snelson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Michigan with eight years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She also addresses parenting, career concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, and intimacy-related issues.

Monique helps people sort through everyday pressures like starting a job, moving, or relationship strain. She uses clear, direct conversation to identify what feels stuck and what skills are missing. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings to notice change.

Her background includes a mix of therapy methods that aim to repair how people relate to others and to themselves. She draws on attachment-based work to look at patterns from early relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Monique brings mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas into sessions to help with managing strong emotions and building steady routines. She balances listening with concrete strategies like communication practice and coping skills. This helps people handle overwhelm and reduce constant worry.

Clients who want coaching-style support alongside therapy can work on specific goals such as career moves, parenting challenges, or rebuilding after loss. To get started, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so you can set priorities together.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. Online work can use this approach to notice interaction habits and practice new ways of relating during conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts that keep problems going and testing small behavioral changes. It works well for anxiety, low mood, and sleep difficulties by setting tasks and reviewing progress. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment experience.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of what she does with each client. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. The process is collaborative and focused on what helps in day-to-day life.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and shorter check-ins when needed. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the exact online or in-person options before booking. Many people find online meetings make it easier to keep appointments around work or school commitments and to bring real-life situations into conversation during sessions.
