About Monique
Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help. She emphasizes clear communication, self-compassion, and skills you can use between sessions. Monique aims to make therapy feel usable and straightforward for people facing stress, anxiety, or difficult life changes.
She uses evidence-based methods to address worries like depression, trauma, and relationship strain. Sessions often include learning new coping skills, practicing better ways to talk about needs, and breaking problems into manageable steps.
Background and approach
Monique draws on approaches such as attachment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. Her background includes eight years of clinical work. She brings direct experience helping people navigate career stress, grief, parenting concerns, and identity or body-image worries.
The work balances problem-solving with attention to emotional patterns that show up over time. Monique holds an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She is licensed in Michigan and has clinical experience using DBT-informed skills for emotional regulation and CBT strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
In sessions she focuses on practical change and emotional understanding. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what each person needs. She supports work on communication problems, codependency, blended family issues, and coping after loss or trauma.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current emotions and reactions. It can help people understand why they respond strongly in certain relationships and learn new ways to connect that feel safer.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build more effective habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and worry-driven behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This often means mixing approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different life demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions reduce screen time, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide short check-ins or moments of coaching between sessions. These options help make therapy more accessible and adaptable to daily routines.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
