Monique Trump Snelson , LMFT

Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Monique emphasizes self-compassion, clearer communication, and building healthier day-to-day habits.

She uses approaches that honor attachment and present moment awareness. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. That might mean learning simple coping skills, practicing new ways to speak about needs, or trying small behavior changes between sessions.

Monique brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice in Michigan. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, career strain, ADHD, body image, and many practical life changes. Her work includes concerns related to parenting, blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and family of origin problems.

Her style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with attachment-based thinking and mindfulness. She also uses client-centered methods and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when helpful. This mix is aimed at helping people feel steadier, communicate more clearly, and make manageable changes.

Sessions may include skills practice, guided reflection, and collaborative planning for goals. Monique approaches each person with curiosity and respect. She seeks to help people feel understood and to build workable steps toward change.

Using attachment, CBT, and mindfulness online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current connection patterns shape reactions now. It can help people understand relationship worries, fear of abandonment, and attachment issues that affect intimacy and communication.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce rumination and increase emotional balance. It pairs well with skills from CBT and DBT for stress and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Monique will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t, so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging are handy for quick reflections, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent work between sessions.
