About Monique
Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and the ongoing challenges of parenting. Monique emphasizes clear communication and practical tools that fit everyday family life.
In sessions she blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care. That means she pays attention to relationship patterns and listens closely to each person’s goals. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Background and approach
Monique often supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, or major life changes. She also works with concerns such as sleep problems, anger, compassion fatigue, and career stress. Parenting questions are a common focus, including blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and family of origin matters.
Her work is straightforward and practical. Clients can expect to talk about recent problems, learn skills to cope day-to-day, and set realistic steps for change. She frames progress in small, manageable tasks rather than dramatic overhauls.
Monique practices in Michigan and offers sessions in English. She draws from a mix of approaches - including DBT skills and mindfulness - to help people regulate emotions and practice self-compassion. Her background as an LMFT guides a relational view of problems and solutions.

How her approaches translate to online parenting support
Monique uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape behavior. This helps people notice patterns between caregivers and those they care for, and then try different ways of responding that build connection. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify harmful thinking and test practical behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.Finding the right fit is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed program.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy work with busy schedules. Video is useful when visual cues and interactive teaching help. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions.
