About Monique
Monique Trump Snelson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and anger. She helps people who are juggling work, family, and big life changes find clearer ways to cope.
Monique uses practical, evidence-informed methods to address emotional overwhelm and interaction patterns that fuel repeated arguments or resentment. Sessions focus on clearer communication, emotion regulation skills, and identifying triggers that keep problems stuck. She emphasizes straightforward tools clients can try between meetings.
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. That combination helps people understand how early relationship shapes still affect current reactions, and then build concrete ways to respond differently. Mindfulness practices are used to ground strong feelings and reduce impulsive responses.
Monique also draws on client-centered principles, letting the person’s concerns guide goal setting and pacing. She frames work as practical problem-solving rather than lengthy theory, so people can see small changes sooner. Coaching elements support clients who want goal-directed help with career or life transitions.
People meet her to manage anger that shows up at home or work, to reduce anxiety before conflicts, or to rebuild trust after painful interactions. She works in English and does not take international clients. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Monique commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills in her clinical work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence how someone reacts now and helps identify repeated interaction cycles. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce emotional escalation. DBT supplies concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for times when anger or overwhelm feels intense.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Monique collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. She adjusts pacing and homework so techniques stay practical and usable in day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a lunch break or evening slot. Licensed professionals often pair skills practice with real-world tasks between sessions so changes carry over into daily routines.
