About Leslie

Leslie Mulligan is a licensed counselor with 24 years of experience who emphasizes practical support for people coping with mood instability, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad clinical background to help clients address issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, addiction, compassion fatigue, and ADHD while honoring the whole person and their life context. Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative, blending present-focused dialogue with creative, body-centered practices.

Leslie integrates cognitive-behavioral tools, attachment-informed work, emotion-focused methods, and dialectical skills to help clients build coping strategies, improve communication, and strengthen emotional regulation. She also brings experience supporting people through illness, aging and bereavement, sexual and relationship trauma, and complex family dynamics.

Leslie practices in Maine and offers services in English and French. She frames therapy as a cooperative process guided by each person’s goals, and she draws on a wide range of therapeutic techniques to tailor interventions to the individual’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

Leslie commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, sleep, eating, and coping with stress. Attachment-based work is also central, focusing on emotional bonds and communication patterns to improve relationships and address intimacy-related concerns and family dynamics. These approaches are applied in a collaborative, present-focused way to match each person’s needs and priorities.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Leslie approaches treatment as a partnership, inviting clients to explore which techniques feel most helpful and adjusting plans based on goals, progress, and personal preference. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions for issues such as trauma recovery, grief, ADHD-related challenges, and ongoing mood regulation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from Maine or other locations, support continuity of work between sessions, and allow clients to choose the way of communicating that best fits their life and therapeutic goals.
