Leslie Mulligan

Leslie Mulligan, LCMHC, LCPC, welcomes people navigating major life transitions and stress. She speaks English and French and draws on 24 years of clinical experience to help clients who are coping with life changes, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship strain, grief, and career stress. Leslie presents herself in a direct, caring way so conversations feel focused and practical.

Leslie offers a present-centered, interactive style. Sessions tend to be warm and straightforward, using creative tools when they help move things forward. She pays attention to how body sensations, thoughts, emotions, and life events connect, and she brings that whole-person perspective into sessions.

Her work blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered conversation. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior work and emotionally-focused techniques when those fit a person’s needs. The goal is to clarify what matters to the client and build skills and insight to support change.

Leslie has experience supporting people through trauma, including combat and sexual trauma recovery work with service members and first responders. She also helps with sleep and health-related stress, chronic illness, caregiving and aging concerns, and issues around intimacy and sexuality.

Her style values honesty, respect, and cultural sensitivity. She describes herself as trauma-sensitive and body-centered, bringing together talk, practical skill-building, and creative practices to help people move toward a more manageable life.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How Leslie's approaches translate to online therapy

Leslie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This helps when relationship strain, intimacy issues, or attachment concerns are part of the problem. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the client's priorities, with the therapist offering reflection and support to clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can help with anxiety, mood, sleep, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Leslie will work with each person to identify which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the focus over time.

Practical benefits of online work often include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, maintain regular momentum, and keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
