About Monique
Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She emphasizes building self-compassion, clearer communication, and practical coping skills for everyday life.
Monique draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to create a calm, nonjudgmental space. She listens for patterns in relationships and early experiences that shape current reactions. That helps people spot what keeps them stuck and try different ways of relating.
She uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy strategies when helpful. These approaches can break down overwhelming problems into small, testable steps. Mindfulness practices are also offered to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.
Her experience includes work with adults navigating grief, parenting strain, career stress, and trauma-related concerns. She also addresses issues such as body image, adoption and foster care questions, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Monique has eight years of clinical experience and holds LMFT credentials in Indiana and Alabama, though she practices in Michigan. She works with individuals who want straightforward, practical tools and steady support as they face change.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process emphasizes collaboration and clear steps so clients know what to expect and can make measurable progress.
How her approaches shape online work
Monique draws from attachment-based and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationship patterns influence feelings and reactions today and can help when relationship patterns or attachment issues cause stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so people can test small changes and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monique collaborates with each person to choose tools and exercises that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps most, so the plan evolves with progress and feedback.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness exercises, thought-records, and behavior experiments between sessions so new skills can be practiced in everyday life.
