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 dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, stress, and challenges like codependency and attachment concerns. Sessions focus on practical skills for better communication, managing emotions, and coping with life changes.

Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to teach concrete skills for handling distress and shifting unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness techniques are used to ground clients and improve moment-to-moment awareness.

Monique helps people name patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and losing themselves in relationships. She talks through how those patterns show up in daily life and offers step-by-step strategies to set boundaries, manage anxiety, and rebuild a sense of self. Work may include practicing new ways to speak up, testing small changes, and tracking what does and does not work.

She has experience with trauma, grief, parenting stress, ADHD-related challenges, and career pressures. That background informs how she adjusts pacing and skill work to fit each person's situation. Therapy emphasizes clear tools and short-term strategies as well as deeper attachment-focused work when helpful.

People who book with Monique should expect direct, practical conversation and skill-building. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to review goals and next steps.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this means identifying repeated ways of relating and practicing new, healthier responses to connection and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person is trying to say. It helps people clarify their goals and feel understood before moving into skill work.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Monique will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide whether to focus first on coping skills, on changing thought patterns, or on exploring attachment dynamics.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online work can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice communication skills in the context of daily life and bring real situations into the conversation for immediate feedback.
