About Monique
Monique Trump Snelson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, grief, and changes in life circumstances. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication rather than abstract theory.
Monique uses a blend of approaches to address everyday problems. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and DBT skills to build distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
In the room she uses client-centered principles to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities. Mindfulness techniques are taught when they help with concentration, sleep, or reactivity. She helps people turn observations into small, manageable changes they can try between sessions.
Her work often tackles family of origin issues, codependency, abandonment and attachment concerns, blended family stress, and parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, career pressure, compassion fatigue, body image and eating-related concerns.
Practical coaching around goal-setting and problem solving is part of her offering when someone wants focused steps. People learning to cope with ADHD-related challenges or intimacy-related issues can work on strategies and communication skills. Sessions are conversational and skills-focused, with an emphasis on what someone can do differently in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions use conversation to identify patterns and practice new ways of responding in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts that increase anger or anxiety and tests them with practical experiments between sessions. DBT focuses on concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Finding the right mix of methods usually happens together. The therapist and client review goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process guides whether more skills work, mindfulness practice, or relational exploration is emphasized. Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing preferred pacing, session length, and skill practice helps sessions fit into everyday life without promising a specific format.Areas of expertise
