About Leslie
Leslie Mulligan is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, phobias, relationship strain, and major life changes. She offers straightforward support for mood concerns, grief, sleep problems, and issues around intimacy and sexuality. Leslie speaks English and French and practices from Maine with 24 years of experience as a licensed mental health professional.
Her style is warm and direct. Sessions are present-centered and interactive, with room for creativity such as art-based activities when useful.
Background and approach
Leslie draws on a range of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment rather than sticking to a single method. Leslie emphasizes the whole person - feelings, body sensations, thoughts, and life history all matter. She uses practical tools from cognitive-behavioral work and skills training to address day-to-day struggles like panic, sleep disruption, or anger.
At the same time she pays attention to attachment patterns and relationship dynamics that shape how people connect with others. Trauma-related concerns, including recovery from combat and sexual trauma, have been a part of her practice. Her approach aims to be trauma-sensitive and paced to what each person can handle.
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, and aging-related challenges. People looking for flexible online options can meet through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site's Start Therapy flow.
Approach to online therapy and treatment methods
Leslie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood swings. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early connection styles affect present-day intimacy and communication.Finding the best approach is a shared process. Leslie discusses goals and preferences with each person and combines methods that make sense for their situation. She checks in regularly so the plan can change if something isn’t helping or life circumstances shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth work and exercises, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging work well for shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across moves, travel, or tight schedules while still working on practical skills and emotional healing.
