About Monique
Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Monique uses plain, down-to-earth language so parents and busy adults can follow along.
Her approach is warm and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way. From there she works with clients to build clearer communication, better sleep routines, and calmer reactions to stress.
Background and approach
Monique also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She blends that with attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current worries. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior strategies are used when people need ways to manage intense emotions in the moment.
Over eight years she has supported people through grief, trauma, career changes, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She helps clients set small, doable goals and checks progress each session. The focus is on skills that make daily life easier and relationships clearer.
People who work with Monique often want a practical plan as well as a listening space. She offers a steady presence and concrete tools for coping, communicating, and making changes that stick.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Monique blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors. Client-centered work focuses on listening, validation, and building a trusting space so people can talk through what matters most to them. CBT offers concrete steps for changing thought patterns and testing small behavior changes that improve daily functioning.She also draws on mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas to teach stress reduction and emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness helps people build attention and calm the nervous system, while DBT-informed techniques provide short, practical tools for managing strong feelings and improving communication. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the therapist and client check goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for sessions that need visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or times when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, and paced conversations when daily support is helpful. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy family and work routines.
