About Leslie
Leslie Mulligan is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) and an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) with 24 years of experience based in Maine. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, mood instability, grief, sleep and career stress, and a range of life-stage and health challenges. She speaks English and French and accepts international clients.
Leslie uses practical, present-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and test new behaviors. Dialog in sessions is direct and interactive, with the client setting goals and priorities.
Her approach also includes attachment-based ideas and client-centered techniques to look at how relationships affect current problems. For trauma-related concerns she combines structured cognitive work with skills for emotional regulation. She can help with relationship conflict, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and recovery after abuse or loss.
Leslie has experience supporting people affected by military combat trauma and sexual trauma, as well as first responders. She describes her style as present-centered, creative, and straightforward. Sessions may include discussion, skills practice, and practical tasks to try between meetings.
She frames therapy around what a person wants to change and helps set concrete steps toward those goals. To begin, clients use the site button to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session under a cancellable subscription plan.
How Leslie blends structured approaches for online care
Leslie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps, homework-like experiments, and brief skills practice that translate well to remote conversations.She also incorporates attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps when people want to change patterns in close relationships or address intimacy and trust issues. Client-centered techniques guide the pace and topics so the client’s goals lead the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. Leslie works collaboratively to decide whether CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, or client-centered support best match a person’s needs and goals. She adapts methods as progress and preferences become clear.
