About Monique
Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She emphasizes self-compassion and clearer communication in sessions. Her style aims to help clients build practical coping skills and solid, everyday habits that ease emotional strain.
She brings eight years of clinical experience to her work in Michigan and supports people facing life transitions, workplace stress, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. Monique uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help clients understand what keeps old patterns going. Sessions often include learning new ways to respond to difficult feelings and testing small changes between meetings.
Monique uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are woven into her work to help with emotion regulation and staying present.
She also addresses concerns related to adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family issues, and family of origin problems, offering focused attention to those themes when they arise. Monique aims to help clients build resilience and clearer goals for relationships and life direction.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She helps people set small, achievable steps and tracks progress over time. The goal is steadier emotional balance and better day-to-day functioning.
Approaches that translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up in current behavior and feelings, and it helps people notice and change those patterns to feel more secure in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, testing them, and practicing clearer, more effective responses to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what the person notices is useful.
Confirm the session formats available with the therapist before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled around work breaks, and sitting for a video session can save travel time. Other practical benefits include using at-home notes or exercises between sessions and practicing skills in the situations where they happen most often.
