About Leslie
Leslie Mulligan is a licensed counselor who works with adults and young people who are struggling with mood, relationship, and life-stage challenges. She brings 24 years of experience and a direct, warm manner to sessions. Leslie speaks English and French and practices from Maine.
Leslie focuses on calming mood instability and easing anxiety and depression. She helps with intimacy and relationship struggles, grief and bereavement, career and sleep problems, and coping with illness or aging.
Background and approach
Her work also addresses addiction, ADHD, body image, and stress from caregiving or burnout. Her approach is present-centered and interactive. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and emotional needs, and uses attachment-based ideas to understand how past bonds affect current behavior.
She also uses client-centered conversations to make room for the person in front of her. Sessions are practical and creative. Leslie explains ideas plainly and uses mindfulness, art-based tools, and behavioral skills when helpful.
The aim is to clarify what matters now and build small steps people can try between meetings. She describes herself as trauma-sensitive and body-centered, attending to how feelings show up in the body as well as the mind. Her background includes work with trauma survivors and people facing serious illness or major life changes.
Leslie frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens with honesty and cultural awareness, and helps people find steadier footing and clearer choices for their next steps.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape relationship patterns and helps people notice and shift those patterns to feel more connected and supported. It often helps when relationship distress or intimacy problems are central.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early bonds influence current behavior and reactions. It can help people understand why they respond the way they do under stress and build new ways of relating to others.
Leslie will work with each person to decide which approach or mix of tools fits best. That decision is collaborative - she listens to goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then adapts techniques to the person's pace and needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility across several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or sightlines are limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, medical appointments, or caregiving demands and to try different formats until the right one is found.
