About Monique

Monique Trump Snelson is a licensed marriage and family therapist who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a warm, client-centered stance.

Background and approach

She frequently draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people recognize patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression while also integrating attachment-based and mindfulness techniques to strengthen self-compassion and interpersonal communication. Her approach emphasizes clear skills, thoughtful reflection, and collaborative goal-setting to address relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

With eight years of experience, Monique works with a broad array of emotional and situational challenges including parenting stress, career-related strain, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and complex family dynamics such as adoption and blended family concerns. She creates nonjudgmental space for clients to explore body image, codependency, control issues, and other patterns that interfere with wellbeing.

Monique frames therapy as a partnership that combines practical coping tools with deeper exploration to support resilience and meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Monique frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship experiences influence current connection patterns and to support healthier communication and emotional closeness. These methods are often paired with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to balance skill-building with compassionate reflection.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. Monique works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective. Clients and therapist review progress together and select interventions that fit the person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy with Monique is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or work, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills between sessions with ongoing support from a licensed professional.
