About Monique
Monique Trump Snelson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of experience based in Michigan. She works with adults on anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, stress, self-esteem, parenting questions, and family-related issues including family of origin concerns.
Monique uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to address everyday problems. She listens for how early family roles and expectations still show up now. Then she helps people notice patterns, name unhelpful reactions, and try small changes in thinking and behavior.
Her work combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive-behavioral skills and moment-to-moment mindfulness. That means looking at how important relationships shaped expectations and then practicing different ways of responding. Sessions often include communication coaching and strategies to manage strong emotions.
Monique also draws on dialectical behavior therapy approaches for emotion regulation and motivational interviewing to support change. Those methods are used in clear, step-by-step ways so people can test what works between sessions.
She pays attention to life transitions such as career shifts, separation, adoption or blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress. People bring grief, sleep problems, anger, or questions about intimacy and parenting; Monique helps break those concerns into manageable steps.
To start, she asks about current struggles and family history to build a simple plan. The emphasis is practical - reduce distress, improve communication, and build more predictable reactions over time.
Approaches and how online sessions can fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. It looks at expectations formed in childhood and how those shape trust, closeness, and conflict in adult relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to notice stress and interrupt automatic reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative process may involve testing a skill from DBT, a CBT exercise, or an attachment-focused conversation and adjusting based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare, or commuting. They also allow shorter check-ins when a quick coaching moment is needed, or video when a longer skills session is planned. Licensed professionals often use these practical advantages to keep therapy workable alongside daily life.
