About Leslie

Leslie Mulligan is a seasoned mental health therapist with 24 years of experience supporting individuals ages 14 to 90, couples, families, and groups. She assists clients navigating mood instability, relationship and intimacy challenges, family conflicts, work and sleep-related stress, aging and bereavement, sexuality and life-stage transitions, and spiritual questions. For a decade she provided recovery services for military combat and sexual trauma to active duty, reserve, and guard members and their families, as well as first responders.

Leslie offers a warm, direct, present-centered, creative, and interactive style that aims to be both objective and nonjudgmental. Her trauma-sensitive work blends cognitive-behavioral strategies, humanistic perspectives, psychodynamic insights, mindfulness practices, wellness techniques, and art therapy tools to tailor care to each person. Conversations are guided by the client - focused on clarifying the current stage of life, deepening enjoyment, and strengthening personal agency.

As a holistic, body-centered practitioner, Leslie attends to mind, body, heart, thought, spirit, and life experience as interconnected influences on well-being. She holds LCMHC and LCPC credentials - LCMHC meaning Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and LCPC meaning Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and works in both English and French. Leslie welcomes connections from clients seeking practical, compassionate support on their journey.

Attachment, Cognitive Approaches, and Online Care

Leslie integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape patterns of trust, intimacy, and emotional response, which can help with relationship challenges and attachment concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, mood instability, and coping with life stresses. In addition, Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client is heard and respected, promoting self-directed growth and clarity about personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leslie works collaboratively with each client to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. The result is a personalized path that draws from different models as appropriate.

Online therapy with Leslie offers flexibility and access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care across distances, and maintain consistent contact during transitions, while still receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists experienced in trauma-informed and attachment-focused care.
