Monique Trump Snelson, LMFT

Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on relationships and emotional wellbeing. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and the strains that come with life changes. Her work centers on improving communication and building self-compassion through practical steps people can use day to day.

She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections affect present relationships. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around each person's priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy offer tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and handling strong emotions.

Monique has eight years of clinical experience and has supported people facing trauma, grief, career stress, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, codependency, eating and body image struggles, and blended family dynamics. Her background includes work with people navigating adoption and foster care, abandonment, and family of origin conflicts.

In sessions she focuses on clear communication and skill building. Clients can expect practical strategies for sleeping better, managing anger, and coping after loss or major life events. The approach aims to help people leave sessions with at least one manageable step to try between meetings.

Based in Michigan, Monique offers therapy in English. She frames her work as collaborative coaching and support, helping people find what fits their goals and daily life.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand clinginess, avoidance, trust issues, and how those patterns play out in partnerships and close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and lets the client set the pace; the therapist reflects and listens to support self-discovery and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and daily routine. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision, and adjustments are expected as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits often include fitting sessions into a busy day, keeping check-ins shorter when needed, and avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to practice communication skills between meetings and use real-life examples from home or work to guide the session. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and exercises to make remote sessions effective and relevant to daily life.
