Monique Trump Snelson, LMFT

Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She centers work on building self-compassion, clearer communication, and practical coping skills. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at people who want concrete tools and steady guidance.

With eight years of experience, she has helped people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress from work or relationships. Sessions often address self-esteem, grief, intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, and the challenges that come with parenting or career shifts. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and attention-related struggles such as ADHD.

Her practice draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix lets her tailor each session to practical needs - identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new communication, or building emotional regulation skills.

In sessions she creates a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through painful memories and current stresses. Work includes skill-building, thought reframing, and developing daily routines that reduce overwhelm. She helps people notice patterns that get in the way of their goals and test small changes that make life more manageable.

Monique practices in Michigan and speaks English. She supports a broad range of concerns including adoption and foster care issues, attachment wounds, body image, family of origin problems, and coping after disasters. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy steps to match and schedule.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Monique uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand their close relationships and how past bonds shape current reactions. This approach can be useful for those noticing repeated patterns in trust, closeness, or conflict.

She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change thoughts that increase anxiety or low mood. CBT emphasizes clear steps like identifying unhelpful beliefs and testing small behavior changes to see what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. That means experimenting with skills, adjusting plans, and checking in about what feels most useful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, and help people attend sessions when they’re feeling overwhelmed. Licensed professionals adapt tools like mindfulness exercises, thought records, and DBT skills training to the session format to support progress over time.
