About Monique
Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She uses straightforward, compassionate care to help clients build self-compassion, improve communication, and handle life transitions. Her style aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about and to find practical steps forward.
She leans on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions so the person’s priorities lead the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provide concrete skills for managing intense emotions and changing unhelpful patterns.
With eight years of clinical experience, she has worked with people facing social anxiety, workplace stress, trauma, depression, and relationship challenges. She also supports concerns such as parenting strain, grief, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. Her practice includes attention to family of origin issues, adoption and foster care, abandonment, and blended family concerns.
Sessions emphasize short-term coping skills and longer-term patterns that keep problems recurring. Clients can expect practical tools for sleeping, anger, and communication problems alongside space to process grief and trauma. Monique aims to help people build resilience and clearer goals for change.
Therapy is offered in English and provided from her Michigan practice. She holds LMFT credentials in Indiana and Alabama as listed, and brings a warm, nonjudgmental approach to each person’s situation.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people understand their attachment needs and responses. It can be useful for anxiety that ties to fears of abandonment or difficulty trusting others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it offers concrete steps for reducing worry, improving sleep, and changing avoidance patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce emotional reactivity and improve focus in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions blend listening, practical exercises, and skill-building so the plan evolves from what the client says is most helpful.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can allow shorter check-ins during a break, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to practice skills between meetings.
